European Swimming World Cup Tour

I am writing to everyone from my hotel room in Stockholm, Sweden. I just arrived here this morning for the first stop of the European circuit of the FINA Swimming World Cups. I will be swimming the breaststroke events (50, 100, 200 scm) at each stop in Stockholm, Moscow, and Berlin. This will be a great chance to get some fast racing in against good international competition. It will be a lot of racing (6 times in 9 days), but will be a great start to the Olympic season getting some more international experience while representing TEAM CANADA. I will post more about Stockholm and the competition soon, but wanted to give you some general information about the competition first.
