Bromer was named as one of Denmark's Olympic Hopeful, one member of the Denmark team is a big fan of Bermuda, Mads Glæsner is a member of the Trojan Swim Club in USA, a club in which Bermuda’s Julian Fletcher and Rebecca Heyliger also represent.
The Olympic Hopefuls will take part in a 15-day long preparatory camp at the National Sports Center.
Bromer who has already been selected for the Olympics is looking forward to having a good trip with the other Olympic swimmers. A total of five swimmers have already been selected for the Olympics besides Bromer, they include Jeanette Ottesen, Lotte Friis, Rikke Moller Pedersen and Mie Ø. Nielsen.
Bromer can direct all his attention on the Olympics, when training camp in Bermuda starts. And there's a very specific reason for the choice of destination just fell on Bermuda. Here the climate is the same as in Rio, making the temperature and the humidity will be equal to that seen at the Olympics this summer.
This is not something that Bromer sees as the biggest challenge.
It's a half year to Rio, so even if the climate is the same, seems enough to be very different for the Olympics, says Bromer.
“As I see it, it is an exercise that we are doing in training camp to see how easy we are changing our circadian rhythm, and how long it takes before we can perform optimally,” says Bromer.
For Bromer himself he comes to the camp to also focus on his damaged foot, which he has struggled a bit with, and he therefore hopes to be able to get more and more time with proper training in Bermuda.
“My own focus is on my injury in the foot, and quietly get started swimming more and more leg again, he says. I also intend to continue working with my arm strokes, as I have done here in my injury period.
As a rule, I have not changed anything in my training plan, but I have taken measures and equipment in use, so I'm used to getting more challenging, says Bromer on the training leading up to the Olympics.
