The Texas A&M men?â„¢s swimming team continued its winter training in Barbados with morning and evening workouts on Tuesday.
In the morning workout, the Aggies kept the nearby tourists entertained by donning boxing gloves and sparring with a partner on the beach. The taxing warmup was followed with a series of open water swims with head coach Jay Holmes leading the way in a kayak.
In the evening, the Aggies headed to the pool for more drylands with strength and conditioning coach Paul Sealey and more swimming in the pool.
The Aggies are gearing up for the meat of their schedule that starts with a Jan. 12 dual meet against defending NCAA Champion Auburn at the Student Rec Natatorium in College Station, although A&M will swim Gettysburg College on Jan. 6 in Barbados.
