End of Spring
Session / Start of Summer Session
The Spring session ended Thu Jun 29th (Whitecaps) / Fri Jun
30th (Earlybirds). The Summer session starts Mon Jul
3rd (even though this is a holiday for many of
you!). Note that in July/August, your choice of groups is as
follows:
1. 6:30am
Earlybirds 6:30-7:30am MWF + 10-11am Sat
2. 7:30am
Earlybirds: 7:30-8:30am MWF + 10-11am Sat
3. 6pm Whitecaps:
6:00-7:10pm MTuTh + 10-11am Sat
Note that there is no 8:30am group in the
Summer. Also, Saturday workout is 10-11am ONLY, and there
is no child safety supervision on
Saturdays. Finally, the sign up for Summer is separate from
Spring, so if you are planning to swim in the summer and have not yet signed up,
please do so! You can register on-line (http://www.carleton.ca/athletics) or
at the Customer Service desk in person or by phone (613-520-4480) 8:30am-4:30pm
M-F.
Volunteers
Needed: Kids of Steel Sun Jul 9th
I have volunteered to co-ordinate
the swim for the Kids of Steel race at CFB Ottawa South (Huntclub near the
airport) on Sun Jul 9th. I need 4-6 volunteers to help
me. You are responsible for counting lengths (not very many, though!) and
encouraging the kids. It takes just a few hours (8:30-11:30am), and you
get a T-shirt and food. Let me know if you can help! You can read
more about the event at: http://www.ottawakidstri.ca/.

Time Trial and Relay
Summary:
The information below on most
improved and fastest swimmers is taken from the time trials done during
the Spring 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 26 women and 14
men who improved in at least one event! Top overall was Sue D (8:30am
Earlybirds) who improved her 100fs by 16.9 seconds! She was followed
closely by Ian L (6:30am Earlybirds) who improved his 50br by 16.0 sec/100m (8
sec). In second place for the women was Andrea C (8:30am Earlybirds) who
improved her 50fs by 11.6 sec/100m (5.8 sec). Second for the men was Chris
H (7:30am Earlybirds) who improved his 50br by 10.4 sec/100m (5.2 sec).
Third woman was Mae J (6:30am Earlybirds) who improved her 50fs by 8.2 sec /100m
(4.1sec) and for the men, Dave B (7:30am Earlybirds) who improved his 100br by
7.3 seconds. There were 7 other swimmers improving by more than 5sec per
100m in at least one event – great job all!
The International Point Scores (link
to web page below) are used to determine the best swims. There
were 16 women (12 non-staff/Varsity) and 18 men (13 non-staff/Varsity)
scoring 400 points or above in at least one event. Five swimmers scored
over 600 points. J-F J (Varsity) led the way with 638 points for his 26.9
50fs. Top female was Barb P with 614 for her 20:22 1500fs. Second
woman was Kelys M with 611 ponts for 31.1 in 50fs. Heather M (Varsity) was
next with a 1:17.6 100IM good for exactly 600points. Third non-Varsity
woman was Laura S (Whitecaps “A”) with 575 points for 33.7 50fl. Top
non-Varsity male was Steve N (6:30am Earlybirds) with 605 points for his 29.5
50fl. Second male was Steve Morris (Whitecaps “A”) with 569 for 1:09.4
100IM and third was Don W (Whitecaps “A”) with 555 for a 19:27 1500fs.
Congratulations to all, especially those who made this list for the first
time!

Sat Jul
1st 1er Festival Maitres Nageurs (LCM), Ile Ste-Helene,
Twelve Carleton swimmers attended
this outdoor competition held at the 50m pool built for last year’s FINA World
Championships. Many of those in attendance had watched some of the
swimming last year and wanted a chance to swim in this pool. The meet was
fairly well organized with a few growing pains that they can hopefully resolve
in future (long lines to check in, $5 payment required to use the warm down
pool, not much food at the “happy hour”, though lots of beer – not what’s needed
after 10hrs in the sun before driving back to Ottawa!). All in all a fun
(but long) meet, though it is certainly challenging navigating on backstroke
when swimming outdoors! The team did a great job of getting each other’s
splits and taking lots of photos (to be added to the web site when I get
them!). Full results not yet available, but here’s a summary…
(Results should eventually be available at: http://www.fnq.qc.ca.)
Melanie
S (Whitecaps “B”, 18-24): Melanie did
very well in her first swim meet, despite some goggle problems in the
50fs. Her 50bk looked great!
Jill
P (7:30am Earlybirds, 30-34): This
was Jill’s first meet this year. She also had a few goggle issues, but did
some very good times, including a negative split in her
400fs!
Dawn
W (7:30am Earlybirds, 40-44):
This was Dawn’s first meet in 3 years. She looked very strong in all her
events, especially the 400fs.
Lynn (Coach,
45-49):
Gi (Whitecaps
“A”, 18-24): Gi’s times for all his events were all very close to his PBs.
Francois
P (Whitecaps “A”, 35-39):
Francois looked good in his three 50m events, bk, fs and
br.
Francois
A (7:30am Earlybirds, 45-49):
Though Francois was a bit disappointed with some of his events, he finished in
great style with a PB in 50br (faster than his SCM time!) and club record of
35.91!
Rob
T (Earlybirds, 50-54): Rob
tried a couple of longer events this meet and looked strong. His 50fs
lead-off split on the last relay was only a few 10ths outside his SCM club
record (33.1 vs 32.8).
Sean
K (6:30am Earlybirds, 50-54):
Sean and Rob raced side by side in 400fs, with Sean pulling away a bit in the
second half to get the club record in 6:41.60.
Jose
V (6:30am Earlybirds, 50-54):
Jose’s did a very good 50fs and his 100fs was close to his recent
best.
Andrew
P (Whitecaps “B”, 55-59):
Andrew did an awesome 50br, beating his SCM time and setting a club record of
42.26. This bodes well for Andrew’s trip to the FINA Masters Worlds at
Stanford in August!
George
T (Whitecaps “B”, 80-84):
George had some solid swims, though not quite as fast as he would have
liked. George enjoyed feeling like a youngster swimming against Eugene
Lehman (93) and Roman Jezek (92)!
200+ Men’s
Relay: The team of Sean, Francois A, Andrew and Rob T set two
club records for the 4x50MR (2:39.74), and 4x50FR (2:12.16). The second
time is especially impressive as it is 4 seconds faster than the time the old
club record set by same team SCM in October, showing some great improvements
this season!
The updated club records will be
posted on the web site and bulletin board this
week.

Ask the
Coach
Dear Coach:
I’m having
problems understanding how to use the pace clock – help!! Pace Clock Math
Beginner
Dear P.C.M.
Beginner: Don’t worry, it just takes practice to get the hang of pace clock
math. First, concentrate on the seconds. It’s rare that you will be
getting more than 1min of rest, so you can generally ignore the minutes.
Secondly, look over the pace times before you start and do some calculations
ahead of time to help you remember when you will be leaving. Easiest is
pace times that are multiples of 1min (and thus 0 seconds). If you start
on the red 60 (i.e. when the red hand is at the top), you will always go on the
red 60. If the pace time is something ending in :30, and you start on the
red top, you will alternate between the red top and red bottom (red 30).
If it ends in :15 you will rotate through red top, 15, bottom and 45. It’s
a bit more complicated for times that don’t easily divide into 60, but the same
principle applies. Ask your lane-mates or coach for more help, if
required.
Dear
Coach: The
swimmers in our lane aren’t all the same speed at all strokes. What should
we do in the main set? New Masters
Swimmer
Dear N.M.
Swimmer: Our goal during workout is for everyone to swim together.
Sometimes this doesn’t work out perfectly due to varying speeds among the
swimmers. However, the lane should always stay together. Everyone
should start together and continue to leave on the correct intervals (pace
times) all through the main set. If a swimmer falls too far behind, he/she
should skip 50m and join back in with everyone else. If you feel that you
are getting too far ahead or too far behind your lane-mates on a regular basis,
talk to your coach about whether there is a more suitable
lane.
Dear
Coach: I know
someone asked this before, but I can’t remember the answer. What’s the
difference between negative split and descend? New to this
Terminology
Dear N.t.t.
Terminology: Here are two sets: 4 x 200 fs d 1->4 and 4 x 200 fs neg
sp. In the first one, you would swim each 200 faster than the previous
(for example: 3:25, 3:20, 3:15, 3:10). In the second one, you would swim
the second half (i.e. 100m) of each 200 faster than the first half (for example,
each 200 could be swum as 1:40+1:35 = 3:15). It is also be possible to
descend and negative split at the same
time.
Dear
Coach: Should I
always use a kick board when we do kick? Kicker
Dear
Kicker: It depends. If you are kicking on your front (flutter,
dolphin, breast) you can use a board if you like (you don’t have to). If
you are kicking on your back, don’t use a board – either put your arms straight
above your head with your hands locked together or keep your hands at your
side. If you are kicking on your side, don’t use a
board.
