Ramp-up Training Camp - Week 1 (soloists & relays)


This camp is aimed at helping you ramp up your training safely after an extended break from swimming.

NB, for this week, relays swimmers have opted to join the 9am start time of the soloists for their Monday to Wednesday camp.

COVID-19 Adaptations

Some guidelines to keep us all safe:

  • Please arrive already in your swimsuit so that all you need to do lose your outer clothing.

  • Once changed, please place your bag near others (not touching) to minimise the space that we take up on the beach.

  • If you want to wear crocs (other brands are available!) to the water’s edge, please ensure they are:

    • Uniquely identifiable

    • OK to be placed in a bucket of disinfectant

  • We will be providing feeds, but not treats. Please bring your own uniquely identifiable feed bottle which we will sanitise after each contact.

  • We won’t be able to help with suncream or vaseline I’m afraid. Please ensure you get someone from your household to help with suncream before you leave home or get a sponge on a stick for those hard to reach places. For vaseline, if you feel you need it, bring your own tub and a glove (to avoid getting grease on your goggles)

  • We’ll be signing in and out and checking on you at feeds on an iPad

  • We won’t be able to provide physical assistance, so please don’t extend yourself beyond your known capabilities

  • The volunteers will be wearing PPE (apron, gloves, face covering) and will be sanitising everything required. We’re doing this to keep you safe. Please return the favour by wearing a face covering when you arrive.

  • If you, or a member of your household, have had COVID-19 symptoms in the last 14 days, or if you have been told to self-isolate, do not attend.

  • We will be checking temperatures on arrival. If you have a temperature of 37.8C or above you will be asked to go home. I’d suggest checking your own temperature before you leave to avoid disappointment.
