CUTCO Cutlery
Presentations
Heather
Macdonald (Varsity, ROCS Coach) has a summer
job giving presentations of CUTCO cutlery. The presentations take 40 to 60
min and can be given to any number of people as long as one of them is at least
30 years old. She is paid for giving the presentations, regardless of
whether there are any sales. She’d like to get some experience as she’s
new at this, so if you can help out by inviting her to give a presentation,
please do so. You can contact Heather at hmacdon2@connect.carleton.ca.
ROCS Spring
Session
New swimmers (kids age 6+) are
welcome to join the Ravens of Carleton Swimming Spring Session.
The emphasis for all groups will be
stroke and skill development while improving endurance. No meets are offered
during this Spring Session as the swim year is winding down. For more
details contact Claudia Cronin-Schlote at rocswimming@gmail.com.
Swimmer
Notes
Birth
Announcement: Jennifer Evans (8:30am
Earlybirds) is pleased to report
the arrival of baby #2: Gwenith Mae Evans Bennett (Gwen for short) arrived May
3rd at 2:51am. Big sister Gillian is adjusting and happy to have a new little
friend and future swimming buddy! Pictures available at: http://www.thecorner.ca (who’s in the
corner). Jenn hopes to be back in the swim of things
soon.
8:30am
Earlybird Masters Spinning Class: There are
photos of last term’s Wed am spinning group posted at http://photogallery.carleton.ca/.
Select the “Recreation and Athletics” gallery, and then “Spinning”. One of
these photos (showing Susan N-Y, Renee,
and Alan’s arm!) is on
this term’s membership price list sheet. I also had an e-mail from Tamara
who was in charge of the filming of the 8:30am group on the last day of the
Winter term. She says that they enjoyed the filming, especially the shots
of the swimmers in the bubbler, which they may use as an Athletics cover
shot. If the footage is used it may show up (eventually) on http://www.mycarleton.ca.

Four swimmers with Carleton
affiliation swam at this meet, though just one (Rob) was swimming for
Carleton. Congratulations to Rob on 5 out of 6 season bests, and 4 club
records! The 50fs would also have been a season best (and club record) if
Rob hadn’t had to slow down to ensure that his improperly tied suit finished at
the same time as he did J ! Full results

Ask the
Coach
Dear
Coach: Can you clarify when the
Saturday workouts are? It’s not clear from my receipt from
Athletics. Confused Swimmer
Dear C. Swimmer: Saturday
workouts are 8-9am OR 9-10am for May/June (no workout May 20th –
Earlybird Triathlon using the pool). Saturday workouts are 10-11am only
for July/August (no workouts: July 1st – Canada Day, or Sept
2nd – Labour Day weekend). There is child safety supervision on
Saturdays from 9-10am in May/June but no child safety supervision on Saturdays
in July/August.
Dear
Coach: I have a friend who is
interested in Carleton Masters. Can he/she try a workout for free?
Found a Potential Recruit
Dear F.a.P. Recruit: I have a
limited number of day passes for this purpose. Potential swimmers are
welcome to join any workout, as long as the group has space (so far, all Spring
Masters groups have lots of space).
