George Tombler (6pm Whitecaps) has provided me with a few photos from 1992-1994: http://carletonmasters.tripod.com/90sphotos/. Next step is to identify the exact dates and add all the names. [Sorry – I still haven’t had time to do that yet! Marg Eades (6pm Whitecaps) has also given me another couple of photos that I need to add!] We’d also like to produce a list of the coaches, and who coached when.
   Alan Hunt (8:30am Earlybirds)’s 20th anniversary with Carleton Masters (in Fall 2009) has led to many of you providing historical information on the team! Thanks to all who have contributed to this summary so far. We believe that Mariette Kenney (7:10pm Whitecaps), Helen Blais (x-6pm Whitecaps), and Ursula Scott (7:30am Earlybirds) are those who have been involved with Carleton Masters since before it started! This was likely back in 1982-1983 when Coach Tim Kilby was a lifeguard. Prior to the start of Carleton Masters some stroke improvement classes were offered, and shortly thereafter, possibly in January 1985 (or perhaps the year before?), Carleton Masters started. Helen has offered to get together with Mariette and Ursula to try to flesh this out a bit.
   Don Wells (6pm Whitecaps) started with the team in Jan 1985. Joanne and Cam Dawson (6pm Whitecaps) joined in Sept 1985. Their son, Sean Dawson (fast lane swimmer with summer 6pm Whitecaps), was the founding member of Child Safety Supervision in 1988, when the Dawson’s hired a caregiver to take care of Sean at the pool while they swam.
   I believe the only group running at that time was the 6pm group. Does anyone remember when the Sat am workouts started? Or exactly when the 7:30am morning groups or Nightcaps started?

Here’s a list of dates I have so far. Please send in more information!

Thanks to Tom Anzai (Gefilte Fish Coach, and Carleton Alumnus) for providing some further information on the history of the Carleton Masters club:

“The first Carleton University Masters meet (I know of) was at the Annual Winterlude meet March, 1983. CUM (apologies for the acronym--students!) entered 14 swimmers including myself as the co-founder/swimmer along with Angela Prokopiak. We went to this meet in the hopes of gaining varsity status...which we did in 1985.

Five Ontario Masters records (Angela Prokopiak in 50/100 Fly; Craig Auwaerter in 100 BK, and Tom Anzai in 100 Fly/IM) and one Canadian Masters records (Jim Ballantyne in the 1500m FR). A total of 63 Canadian and 16 Ontario records were broken that meet.”
