Riqui Iturbe-Cosano and Tori Castro Named to USA Swimming National Diversity Select Camp Roster
GSCY Storm is proud to share that Riqui Iturbe-Cosano and Tori Castro were recently selected to participate in USA Swimming’s Annual National Diversity Select Camp. Both attended the camp at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
Riqui and Tori were two of 52 swimmers from around the country selected to participate. The purpose of the camp is to instill a vision of success and inspire athletes from ethnically under-represented populations to become leaders in the sport of swimming. The National Diversity Select Camp brings together some of USA Swimming’s most diverse talent for an extended weekend of pool training, leadership development, team-building activities and learning.
Alumni of the program include 2021 Olympians Simone Manuel and Torri Huske.
The goal of USA Swimming’s National Diversity Select Camp is to:
- Demonstrate the viability of multicultural success in swimming
- Achieve performance excellence at every level of the sport
- Expound the benefits and value of participating in the sport of swimming
- Be positive leaders and role models that others from multicultural backgrounds can emulate.
The camp hosts swimmers between the ages 14 and 16 and selection is based on times achieved at USA Swimming sanctioned events. For more information on the National Diversity Select Camp, please click here.
Congratulations, Riqui and Tori!
