ECU swim and dive uses winter trip to improve

The East Carolina swim and dive team returned December 28, traveling to Jupiter, Florida, helping it get a jump on training for the conference championship in Houston, Texas on February 17.

These winter training trips are designed to give competitors more strenuous workouts and test physical as well as mental toughness by doubling normal workouts every single day.

“Coaches are really trying to keep motivation and team effort high because we are training so much more and it is easy for some people to get discouraged early on the trip,” captain Julien Dodu said.

ECU attended a local 50-meter pool in the heart of Jupiter, Florida, along with Johns Hopkins College located in Baltimore, Maryland.
