Time Trial and Relay Summary:

The information below on most improved and fastest swimmers is taken from the time trials done during the Winter session, and includes the relay splits from the end of term relays.  Times done in competitions are not included.  If your times are not listed here and you're curious, just e-mail me for details.  (I have all time trial times since May 2001.)

 

There were 31 women and 20 men who improved in at least one event.  The most improved overall was Carol Alexander (7:30am Earlybirds) who improved her 400fs by 1:48.5 (27.1 sec/100m).  The second most improved and most improved male was Jamie Chalmers (7:10pm Whitecaps) who improved his 400fs by 1:13.6 (18.4sec/100m).  Also in the top 3 improvements were Lois Frankel (7:30am Earlybirds) who improved her 400fs by 56sec (14.0sec/100m), Meredith Curren (6pm Whitecaps) who improved her 1500 by 2:55 (11.7sec/100m), Paul Kane (7:10pm Whitecaps) who improved his 50fs by 5.0sec (10.0sec/100m), and Rod Haney (7:30am Earlybirds) who improved his 100fs by 9.7sec (9.7sec/100m).  Andrew Buzzell (7:30am Earlybirds) improved in six different events, and Paul Scully (8:30am Earlybirds) in five.  Among the women, both Carol and Kerry-Lee Powell (7:30am Earlybirds) improved in four events.

 

The International Point Scores (link to web page below) are used to determine the best swims.  There were 9 women and 8 men scoring 400 points or above in at least one event.  Hilary March (6pm Whitecaps) was the fastest overall with 656 points for 29.7 in 50fs.  Nathan Fudge (6pm Whitecaps) was the fastest man with 545 points for 28.1 in 50fs.  Next was Don Wells (6pm Whitecaps) with 508 points for 4:59.3 in 400fs, just ahead of Erin Kelly (6pm Whitecaps) with 21:56 in 1500fs.  Third for the women was Tricia Gerrow (6pm Whitecaps) with 500 points for a 22:03 1500fs, just ahead of Maureen Mahoney (7:10pm Whitecaps) with 497 points for 22:06 also in 1500fs.  Third for the men was Alex Russell (8:30am Earlybirds) with 489 points for 29.3 in 50fs.  Hilary scored over 400 points in six events, and Nathan scored over 400 points in five.

 

All those improving and all those scoring over 400 points, as well as the top 3 improvements and the top 3 times for each event are also listed below, as are the results of the relays.

Ask the Coach
 

Dear Coach:  Where’s a good place to swim while the Carleton pool is closed.  Addicted Swimmer

 

Dear A. Swimmer:  Pools that have fairly cool water temperatures and public swims that have few children and organized lane swims include U Ottawa, Plant, and Champagne.  Note that the U Ottawa pool closes on May 1^st for two weeks maintenance and the Champagne pool is 25yds, not 25m, so you’ll be extra fast!  Here’s the U Ottawa schedule: http://www.geegees.ca/sites/all/themes/geegees/schedules/Natation_Swimming.pdf, and the City of Ottawa schedules (select the pool you are interested in and click “search”: http://city.ottawa.on.ca/residents/parks_recreation/swimming/schedules/index_en.html.

 

Dear Coach:  How do I swim a 400 rev IM dr?  Confused Swimmer

 

Dear C. Swimmer:  This is a 400m reverse IM drill, so there is 100m of each stroke, but they are done in reverse order, thus: 100 free drill, 100 breast drill, 100 back drill, and 100 fly drill.

 

Dear Coach:  It seems that the 6pm Summer Whitecaps time is wrong in the registration system.  It is listed as 10:30-11:30am instead of 6:00-7:10pm.  Another Confused Swimmer

 

Dear A.C. Swimmer:  Unless you click on the detailed class schedule, the only time displayed is the time of the first class.  You see the time as 10:30-11:30am as the 6pm Summer Whitecaps starts on a Saturday..

Suggestions for Workouts or Interested in Making up a Workout or a Set?: If you have suggestions for the workouts (something you like that we never do, or something you dislike that we do too much!), or if you'd like to try making up a workout or a set in a workout, just talk to your coach. 
 
Interested in Copies of the Workouts?: Are you interested in getting copies of Lynn's workouts ahead of time?  Let me know.  I usually e-mail out two week’s worth of workouts on alternate Sundays.  (Note that these are only the workouts that Lynn coaches.  If Lynn is not your coach, the workouts sent by e-mail will be different from the workouts your coach gives you!)
