AGUA Athletes Selected for Eastern Zone Select Camp |
Congratulations to Ryan Choi and Azana Karim for being selected and participating in USA Swimming’s 2022 Eastern Zone Select Camp.
The camp took place at the University of Maryland from June 16 to 19 and consisted of the top swimmers in each zone based on the 2021 long course meters season.
This unique experience is designed to develop the athlete’s leadership skills. Athletes had the opportunity to learn both in and out of the water. These lessons consisted of five in-water workouts and a number of classroom sessions covering a variety of topics. It motivated young athletes to continue to set goals, work hard, excel in swimming, and feel empowered to take ownership of their swimming careers.
