COLORADO SPRINGS – Scottsdale Aquatics’ Jack Blake brought his GoPro camera to the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for the USA Swimming national select camp last month, and sent Swimming World a fun video of a post-workout challenge.
In the video below, you’ll see Blake — one of the top young sprinters in the country — swimming to a rope hanging from the rafters at the USOTC pool. Blake climbs the rope seemingly with ease, then tops it off with five pull-ups before falling into the pool below. Though Blake’s camera fell off his head as he hit the water, all was well with Blake and his trusty GoPro.
Swimming World’s Jeff Commings was embedded in the national select camp, and we will bring you more behind-the-scenes video from the exciting weekend in Colorado later this week!
