Memberships and Program Registration during Support Staff Strike

Those who need to purchase or renew Athletics memberships during the strike can pick up a membership form at the Control desk or print one from the Carleton web site: http://www2.carleton.ca/athletics/about/pdfs/membershipform.pdf.  Drop the completed form off at the Control Desk.  The only way to register for Athletics programs right now is using the on-line registration system, which for Aquatics is at: https://secure.e-registernow.com/cgi-bin/mkpayment.cgi?state=947.  You can register on-line while your membership is being processed, just indicate your membership number is not yet available (or use your current number, if you are renewing).  The 7:30am group is nearly full (3 spots remaining), so register soon to avoid disappointment.  For more information on the strike, see: http://www.carleton.ca/cu/2424updates/index.html, which includes a link to the CUPE2424 web page.     

 

 

Swimmer Notes   

 

Swimmer Update:  Leona Crabb (x-7:30am Earlybirds) reports that for August she was posted at CFB Petawawa (Acting Admin Officer for Supply Company).  She’s off to CFB Gagetown (NB) for her next phase of training in September, and back to Petawawa in December.  In early 2008, she’ll be doing more training at CFB Borden (ON) and then returning to Petawawa in May.  By then Petawawa’s pool (currently undergoing major renovations) will be open and she’ll finally be able to swim regularly.  Lack of a pool is her only major complaint about her postings until then.

 

Run for the Cure:  Karen Jensen (7:30am Earlybirds) is running in the CIBC Run for the Cure on Sept 30^th in honour of her dear friend, Kate, who passed away from breast cancer this summer.  If you would like to make donation, see: https://www.cibcrunforthecure.com/html/personal_page.asp?track=2287266&languageid=1. 

 

Swimmer Obituary:  Jack Galvin, North York Gators and designer of the Masters Swimming Ontario logo, died suddenly of complications due to his recently diagnosed leukemia on Fri Aug 31st at age 76, see: http://www.swimgators.com/.  Jack competed in the St Marys’ 5k Open Water swim last year (setting a record for 75-79) and this year’s swim (see “Race Results”, below) was in his honour.    

 

Thanks to Summer Morning Groups:  Many thanks to the morning groups for the wonderful end of term gift of a mini-mesh shower bag (http://www.saltwatercanvas.com) for which I’ve already received lots of compliments! 30^th

Time Trial and Relay Summary:

The information below on most improved and fastest swimmers is taken from the time trials done during the summer 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 21 women and 16 men who improved in at least one event.  Five swimmers improved by at least 9 seconds per 100m.  Most improved was Guy Sanschagrin (6:30am Earlybirds) with a whopping 19.0 sec/100m in 50br.  Next was Colette Kenney (7:30am Earlybirds) with a huge 17.8 sec/100m in 400fs.  Rounding out the top 5 were three women: Cindy Sanschagrin (6:30am Earlybirds) with 10.7 sec/100m in 100br, Sara Domina (6:30am Earlybirds) with 9.3 sec/100m in 100bk, and Joanie Conrad (Whitecaps) with 9.0 sec/100m in 50br.  Tying for second most improved among the men with 6.3 sec/100m were Paul Kane (6:30am Earlybirds) in 1500fs (just a few months after fracturing his pelvis!) and Maxim Hebert (Whitecaps) in 200fs.

 

The International Point Scores (link to web page below) are used to determine the best swims.  There were 10 women and 14 men scoring 400 points or above in at least one event.  Lynn Marshall (Whitecaps) and Jamie Stephenson (6:30am Earlybirds) had the highest scores, both in 1500fs, with 729 and 641 points, respectively.  Six other swimmers scored over 500 points.  Lydia Sanschagrin (6:30am Earlybirds) was next with 587 points in 50fs.  Chris Hallamore and Rhys Goldstein (both 7:30am Earlybirds) tied with 540 in 50fs.  Steve Morris (Whitecaps) managed a respectable 530 in 50fs, despite a leg injury.  Maureen Mahoney and Lisa Sharp (both Whitecaps) finished just 1 second and 1 point apart in 1500fs with 517 and 516, respectively.

 

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!

Sun Sept 9^th St Marys’ 5km MSO Open Water Swim Championships

This year’s annual 5km swim was held in the memory of Jack Galvin (see “Swimmers Notes”, above).  A significant milestone was reached this year, as, for the first time, an 80 year old, Ken Marchant, completed the race (in 2:48)!  Lynn Marshall (Coach/Whitecaps) was the only Carleton swimmer competing, but Tony Pidkalenko (now living in London) and his girlfriend came to watch (on a very cool day), which was appreciated!  There were 50 swimmers this year.  Lynn finished 1^st overall in 1:05:32 (new 45-49 record, almost 2min faster than last year).  Full results at: http://www.soloswims.com/.

 

 

Ask the Coach

 

Dear Coach:  Where can I buy a good training suit?  New Swimmer

 

Dear N. Swimmer:  When buying a training suit, you want to look for a long lasting polyester fabric.  It’s difficult to find these suits locally, but http://www.aquasport.ca (in Montreal) has a wide range of styles available and can ship you the suit of your choice (or you can visit one of their stores).

 

Dear Coach:  Where can I buy prescription goggles?  Short-Sighted Swimmer

 

Dear S-S. Swimmer:  There are lots of on-line swim stores that sell prescription goggles (including Aquasport, above).  However, most local Sports Experts stores sell Speedo prescription goggles.  (Call ahead to check they have your prescription!)

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!)
