We’re thrilled to share that Alto Head Coach Joey Sementelli was selected to coach at the USA Swimming National Boys Select Camp! Held January 9-12 at United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, this incredible event brought together many of the nation’s top 15-17-year-old swimmers for a transformative experience.
The National Select Camp is designed to inspire and educate the best young athletes in the country, offering them a taste of what it’s like to live and train as a National Team athlete. Swimmers were selected based on outstanding performances in the USA Swimming SWIMS database, with the fastest times in Olympic events earning a spot. A total of 52 athletes participated in this three-day camp.
The camp’s curriculum included:
In-water workouts: Five sessions focused on refining skills and strategies.
Classroom sessions: Topics covered included post-race recovery, psychological training skills, race strategy, nutrition, and the latest updates on drug and supplement regulations.
The camp’s focus was not on heavy training but on motivation, skill-building, and education to help these athletes reach their full potential. Athletes lived and trained on-site at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center, immersing themselves in the daily routine of elite swimmers.
Joey’s selection as a coach for this prestigious event highlights his expertise and leadership in the swimming community. Congratulations to Coach Joey, and to all the athletes and coaches who participated in this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
