Swimmer Notes   

 

Swimmer Notes:

   Leona Crabb (x-7:30am Earlybirds) recently wont the top female athlete award for her basic training, partly due to her swimming!  Congrats, Leona!

   Sinisa Catic (Whitecaps “B”) swam 2000m on Sat Mar 31st for Cancer Research and plans to participate in the Arthritis Big Swim, too.  Great causes!

   Coach Lynn was recognized as a runner up (i.e. top 10 women) in the Top World Masters list for 2006 in the April 2007 Swimmers World Magazine (http://www.swimmersworldmagazine.com). 

   Coach Mits Kachi’s wife, Tanya Parent-Kachi, is shaving her head for Cancer Research.  Contribute at: http://www.evite.com/pages/invite/viewInvite.jsp?inviteId=TZQSGGRODKVWKAJAEUEA&li=iq&src=email&trk=aei2.

 

Big Swim for Arthritis: Several Carleton swimmers participated in this April fundraiser last year.  Full details for this year are at: http://www.bigswim.ca/.  Vincent Richer from Technosport (who last year swam 10k per day [in two 5k sessions] for 4 days and raised $4000 for his 40km effort) this year plans to swim 100km over 10 days!  See his web site at: http://www3.sympatico.ca/vricher/.  However, you don’t have to be that crazy!!  Participants can swim individual 30 minutes, 1000m, 2500m or 5000m swims, or swim on their own by registering to the Log Your Laps challenge. The Log Your Laps challenge is the most flexible of the challenges because it allows participants to complete a challenge at their convenience using local pool facilities of their choice. There is also a team 5000m challenge and a one hour aqua-fit challenge. A registration fee of $25 is collected in order to participate in an event, but if you chose to raise funds and successfully raise $75 or more, your registration fee is waived.  Margaret K (8:30am Earlybirds) plans to participate, as does Sinisa (Whitecaps “B”).  Anyone else?

 

Weekend to End Breast Cancer:  Kristi Dean (Coach) is participating in this 60km walk on Jun 2-3rd.  She aims to raise $5000 (last year she raised over $3500) for breast cancer research.  If you’d like to read more about this fundraiser or sponsor Kristi, see: http://www.endcancer.ca/site/TR?px=1813772&pg=personal&fr_id=1180.


Nose Clips for Sale:  Cost $5.  Contact Lynn if you are interested.

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 (except for the Whitecaps “A” inner tube relay!).  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 40 women and 28 men who improved in at least one event!  Six swimmers improved by more than 10sec per 100m.  Most improved was Gi (WCA) who improved by 13.3 seconds in his 100fs.  Francois J (EB1) improved his 200fs by 24.7sec (12.4sec/100m).  Next was Ursula (VEB) who improved her 1500fs by nearly 3min (11.7sec/100m), followed by Debbie L (EB1) with a 5.7sec improvement in 50bk (11.4sec/100m).  Rounding out the top 6 were Carmel (EB1) who improved her 200bk by 20.4sec and Ian L (VEB) improved by just over 2.5min in his 1500fs (both 10.2sec/100m). 

 

The International Point Scores (link to web page below) are used to determine the best swims.  There were 18 women and 19 men scoring 400 points or above in at least one event.  Two swimmers scored over 700 points:  Melanie P (WCA) with 706 in and Steve K (WCA) with 702 both in 50fs.  Another 7 swimmers scored over 600 points: Blair C (WCA) scored 672 and Jamie (VEB) 637, both in 1500fs.  Jonathan M (WCA) scored 627 and Kelys M (WCA) 625, both in 50fs.  Don W (WCA) was next with 611 in 400IM, followed by Lydia (VEB) with 615 and Bruce S (VEB) with 605, both in 50fs.

 

The top 3 improvements and the top 3 times for each event are also listed below, as are the results of the relays.  Thanks to all who participated!

Sat Mar 31st Montreal North Masters Meet

I don’t yet have the official results for this meet.  However, I can report that the highlight of the meet was that Kelys M (Whitecaps “A”) won a bottle of wine.  (I hear that wine also played a role in the Friday evening preparation for the meet.)

 

 

Ask the Coach

 

Summary of shutdown information, with added information on the B-Train Masters (thanks, Sandy!) 

Carleton Pool: closed Apr 7th-May 6th (re-opens Mon May 7th)

Carleton Weight Room: closed Apr 30th-May 6th (re-opens May 7th)

 

Where to swim?:

1. You can train at another pool during their public / adult swimming hours.  Here are a few links:

Ottawa Public Pool Swimming Schedules:

   http://ottawa.ca/residents/parks_recreation/swimming/schedules/index_en.html

Champagne Pool Drop In Masters:

   Some swims at Champagne are designated Masters swims (Tu/Th 7:30-9pm and Sat 9-10:30am). I believe that you just pay the regular swim fee to join.  If anyone has more details, do let me know.

University of Ottawa Pool Swimming Schedule:

   To end of April; note that the pool is closed Apr 6-9th: http://www.geegees.ca/assets/geegeereg/swimming/Simming_fall_2006.pdf; May: start at: http://www.geegees.uottawa.ca/en/index.asp?lang=EN; click on Activities at the left; and then the updated schedule should be available at the right (not yet there!)

2. There is a new Masters team that trains at the JCC (west end) and Andy Jones is one of the coaches. 

This team has limited space on Mon/Wed 8-9pm; Mon/Wed 9-10pm; and Mon/Wed/Fri noon-1:30pm.  Price for the month would likely be $30-40.  Contact Andy at jonesieaj@yahoo.com for more information.

3. You can train with another Masters team.  List of All Registered Masters Clubs in Ottawa:    

http://www.mastersswimmingontario.ca/clubs/ottawa.htm

4. B-Train Masters swim out of Brewer pool and offer drop-ins at $8 per workout (3 for $20):

            Mon 7-8:30pm; Tue 7-8am; Tue 1:30-2:30pm; Thu 7-8am; Thu 1:30-2:30pm

            For more info: http://www.btrainswimming.com or e-mail coach Andrea andrea@btrainswimming.com.

 

Dear Coach:  I contacted a Masters team where a friend trains to see if I can train with them during the shutdown and they asked for my MSO number.  What is this?  I Don’t Compete

 

Dear I.D. Compete:  Many Masters clubs get their workout insurance through Masters Swimming Ontario (MSO).  As Carleton Masters is run as a program of the University, we are covered under Carleton’s insurance.  Thus, generally, Carleton Masters swimmers only get an MSO number (details under competitions above) if they plan to compete.  Unless you compete, you probably don’t have an MSO number right now.  However, you can get one (it takes about a week, minimum).

 

Dear Coach:  What is drafting in swimming?  (You told us not to do this during our 1500 time trial.)  New Swimmer

 

Dear N. Swimmer:  If you swim within about 5 seconds of the swimmer in front of you, you will be able to swim faster than can on your own.  This effect is called “drafting” and applies to many other forms of motion (e.g. cycling, driving, etc.).  While drafting is legal in triathlons, it is not permitted in FINA sanctioned races and as we try to get fair times in the 1500, drafting should be avoided.  If you catch up to someone, pass!

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 will be different from the workouts your coach gives you!)
