The training camp held at the highlands of Tomi City, Nagano Prefecture by top-level swimmers in Japan for the World Championships in July was released to the press.
At a training camp held in a high-altitude training pool at an altitude of over 1,700 meters in Tomi City, more than 20 Japanese national team candidates who exceeded the times set by the Japan Swimming Federation participated. I am training for the Japan Championships and the World Championships in July.
Of these, Tsuki Imai, who missed out on the Tokyo Games and was a representative of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, is aiming to participate in the World Championships for the first time in six years.
In the breaststroke, which she is good at, she was focusing on strengthening her speed at the training camp, and she was pushing the pitch up with big strokes.
In addition, Mio Narita, a first-year high school student who won the women's 400m individual medley at last year's World Junior Championships and is aiming for her first world championships, said that her condition was not good until just before the training camp. I was confirming swimming with a menu that suppressed.
Imai said, "I want to be able to swim well with the image of a race in mind.I want to strengthen myself so that I can not lose at the Japanese Championships, and I want to do my best so that I can return to the international competition."
In addition, Narita enthusiastically said, "I feel like I'm getting better and better since I came here. I want to show my personal best at the Japan Championships and join the national team."
