"We had some very good swims today," said Head Coach Margarita Kalmikova. "Looking at the times from last week, almost everyone dropped time in at least one event. At this time of the year the most important thing for us is to make changes in the stroke and learn about race strategy, and swimmers are doing that very well. On the diving side we are getting more and more consistent and confidant.Every meet is an opportunity to get better and we definitely are on the right track."
