The Fishers Area Swimming Tigers announced that Fishers natives Kyle Ponsler and JoJo Ramey have been selected to participate in USA Swimming’s Central Zone Select Camp. The elite camp features 56 emerging swimmers from the area and will be held at the University of Cincinnati from May 23 to May 26.
“We are extremely proud to have both Kyle and JoJo representing the Fishers Area Swimming Tigers at the Central Zone Select Camp,” said FAST Head Coach Joe Keller. “This honor reflects the hard work they put into training each day and moves these athletes one step closer to realizing their goals.”
The four-day camp will feature five long course workouts that these elite swimmers will participate in. While the camp is competitive, athletes will also have the opportunity to learn from professionals about post-race recovery, psychological training skills, nutrition and race strategy.
The top 28 male and 28 females in the Central Zone are selected for the camp. Swimmers are selected based on 2018 Long Course Meters (LCM) IMX point scores, where the fastest athlete in each event, ranging from age 12 to 13 for girls and 13 to 14 for boys, are invited to the camp.
