Orinda Aquatics' motto is "Character First" and for the first time, coaches Don and Ron Heidary emphasized this to their student athletes at Character Camp.
Swimmers age 10-and-older spent two hours a day practicing but also working on more than just stroke development and technique; the coaches spent time discussing character, leadership, personal responsibility and perseverance.
The proceeds of the camp are being donated to OA's Swaziland, Africa Swimming Program.
