Overview
- Olympic champion Thomas Ceccon had said three aquagym groups with loud music at 9:30 disrupted his concentration in Verona.
- Director Roberto Cognonato says staff have reviewed programming so national-team sessions no longer coincide with aquafitness lessons.
- The updated plan places elite workouts in the 25-meter indoor pool from 8:00 to 10:30 and shifts top groups to the 50-meter pool in the afternoon.
- Management cites the need to accommodate roughly 400 daily course participants alongside federated athletes, calling scheduling a “tetris.”
- Earlier statements pointed to spring for changes, but officials now describe adjustments as already implemented following talks after Ceccon’s return from Australia.
