Ian Thorpe and his Coach Tracey Menzies will both be in

Cowley and Kirsten Thompson as well as highly qualified swimming
coaches who will put the participants through their paces. Another
guest to be attending the swim clinic to pass on valuable words of
wisdom to the young swimmers of today is former Australian Olympian
Shane Gould.
"The clinic is open to all budding young swimmers, boys and girls
who are aged between 9 and 15 years of age who can swim
continuously for a minimum of 50 metres. The day long program
introduces the participant to new training methods, provide them
with expert tuition and tips on stroke technique, diet and dry land
training as well as providing a once in a lifetime opportunity to
meet and interact with World Champion swimmer Ian Thorpe and his
fellow Olympians" said YourGame Swimming Managing Director Mr. Dean
Gilchrist.
"YourGame Swimming is very excited to be able to provide such a
unique opportunity for all those future champions of Australian
swimming with what we intend to make an annual event. We hope that
many children take this opportunity to participate in what Ian and
we believe will be an extremely enjoyable day as well as providing
the opportunity for the children to personally wish Ian the best of
luck prior to the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics".
