I think this move is really good for Summer. Ben talked about how mature Summer became when she trained with the pros who were 3,4 5+ years older than her. Being around peers her age can be a good refreshing change for her.
Secondly, she often went down to Florida last year and winter to train with the Sarasota Sharks when COVID caused a lot of closures so its not an entirely new training program. Ben and Brent were in constant contact about Summer’s stroke and training (and wouldn’t be surprised if they still were !)
