Bendigo East swimmer Cameron Jordan is on his way to the World Junior Championships.
Cameron is part of a thirty-strong team of fellow Australian teammates who will compete at the World Junior Swimming Championships in Hungary.
The championships don't commence until August 20, but the team travelled across early to Slovakia to attend a staging camp.
Australia's national youth coach Glenn Beringen said the camp was vital to world title preparations.
"We will be training at the X-Bionic Sphere which is a purpose-built facility similar to the AIS which provides high class training and accommodation opportunities all on the one campus," Beringen said.
"The team will be in the final stage of preparation for competition in Slovakia, so the camp will be used to acclimatise, recover from the extensive travel from Australia, and put the finishing touches on their plans as they prepare to race."
The camp will help the athletes prepare physically, but also give them time to bond as a group.
"The staging camp is important in bringing the team together, re-establishing our team goals and preparing to compete and perform when it matters most on the world stage," Beringen said.
