Pellegrini moved to Paris to train with new coach Philippe Lucas, former coach of the Italian’s rival Laure Manaudou. Pellegrini has been training since the beginning of February at the Largardère Centre where Lucas also coaches Amaury Leveaux and Benjamin Stasiulis. Pellegrini said she would return to Verona to make the final refinements to her preparations for the FINA World Championships on Shanghai. The Italian national team are in training camps: the pool swimmers in Fort Lauderdale, Flagstaff and Coral Springs in the United States and the open water swimmers in Perth, Australia.
