Facility Closure and Shower Closure Notes

The entire Athletics facility will be closed April 19th – May 4th inclusive for annual maintenance.  This includes the weight room and locker rooms. 

   The main showers in both the men’s and women’s locker rooms will be renovated during this time, but the work will not be completed until June 2nd.  Thus from May 5 – June 2nd the locker rooms and washrooms will be open but the showers will be closed.

Women: Alternate Needs and Women’s Instructor rooms (2120 and 2122) – accessible from the pool deck.

Men: Varsity Team Rooms (1160, 1164, 1164C) – accessible from 1182A near the elevator.

In addition, temporary showers on the pool deck for rinsing may be available.

   During this time, to avoid congestion in the showers, the following will be in effect:

- only members will have access to the facilities

- adjustments to the pool swim schedule have been made, including:

     - the late evening swims are cancelled

     - the weekend afternoon swims are shortened (3-5pm only)

Swimmer Updates:

   Congratulations to Stephen Morton (Whitecaps “A”) and his wife Beth on the exciting news that they are expecting baby #1!

   Penny Estabrooks (8:30am Earlybirds) reports that she’ll be participating in a small craft sale at 86 Prince Albert Street (just off the Vanier Parkway near Queen Mary) 7-9pm Sat Apr 26th.  Penny will be selling paintings and some cards made from photos of her paintings.

   I reported in the last newsletter that it had been a few years since Bill Westcott (Whitecaps “A”)’s last meet.  In fact, prior to this month’s Technosport meet, his last meet was 27 years ago!!  Well done, Bill!

   In early 2006, Lynn Marshall (Coach) actually set an Ontario Record in women’s 45-49 SCM 200m breaststroke – the one and only breaststroke record she’s ever held (to put it gently, my breaststroke is “weak”!).  At this year’s Ontario Provincials (end of March), order was restored to the universe as that record was broken by Kathy McKnight of the Aurora Ducks.

   Flo Shinder (8:30am Earlybirds) is back in good health and returned to the 8:30am group on Apr 9th.  We all missed Flo and are very glad to see her back at the pool!

Winter Session Summary

First, a big thank you to all the coaches: regular coaches: Mits Kachi (Tue/Thu Whitecaps “B” and Nightcaps) and Blake Christie (Mon Whitecaps “B”); the other Saturday coaches this term: Kristi Dean, Louise Hayes, and Tim Kilby; and Pool Staff sub-coaches: Ilana Hanes and Ann Marie Pullen.

 

Thanks also to Bill Westcott (Whitecaps “A”), Gi Wu (Whitecaps “A”) and Rob Trimbee (6:30am Earlybirds) for helping put in the blocks for the last day’s relays; and to the 8:30am Earlybirds (group effort) for taking them out.  My apologies to the 7:30am and 8:30am Earlybirds for the lack of the traditional “bubbles” during the last workout.  I have no idea what possessed the maintenance worker to dismantle the plug while we were using them!   And a very big thank you to Margaret King (6:30/8:30am Earlybirds) and all the 8:30am Earlybirds for the “bouquet” of helium balloons and chocolate at the last workout – what a fun surprise!

 

Here's the summary of the attendance and time trials for the winter session.  If you notice any errors or omissions, please do let me know.

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 34 women and 26 men who improved in at least one event.  I believe those are the highest numbers ever!  There were some huge improvements, with six swimmers improving by more than 9sec/100m in at least one event.  Most improved overall was Carla Sowinski (7:30am Earlybirds) improving her 400fs by 1:08.5 (17.1sec/100m).  Next was Rada Flekkel (8:30am Earlybirds) who improved her 50fs by 8.2 sec (16.4sec/100m).  Third overall was the most improved man, Sebastien Robillard-Cardinal (Whitecaps “A”) who improved his 100IM by 12.1 sec.  He was followed closely by Penny Estabrooks (8:30am Earlybirds) who improved her 200fs by 23.5 sec (11.8sec/100m).  The other two swimmers improving by almost 10sec/100m were Lynn Davies (8:30am Earlybirds) who improved her 50fs by 4.9 sec (9.8sec/100m) and Carmel MacNeil (7:30am Earlybirds) who improved her 800fs by 1:16 (9.5sec/100m).  Swimmers improving in the most events were Rhys Goldstein (7:30am Earlybirds) in 6 events, and Alex Russell (8:30am Earlybirds) and Carmel MacNeil (7:30am Earlybirds) both improving in 5 events.

 

The International Point Scores (link to web page below) are used to determine the best swims.  There were 15 women and 20 men scoring 400 points or above in at least one event – again higher numbers than usual!  Hilary March (Whitecaps “A”) had the highest score with a whopping 706 for a 29.2 50fs.  Next was Jamie Stephenson (ROCS) with 645 for 18:17 in 1500fs.  Also over 600 were Steve Nordstrum (6:30am Earlybirds) with 622 for 2:27.2 in 200IM and Lydia Sanschagrin (6:30am Earlybirds) for 620 for 30.9 in 50fs.  Scoring over 550 were Jeremy Nichol (6:30am Earlybirds) with 2:29.5 worth 599 in 200IM, Tony Revitt (6:30am Earlybirds) with 1:00.9 in 100fs worth 593, Kerry Murphy (7:30am Earlybirds) with 39.4 in 50br worth 588 and Rhys Goldstein (7:30am Earlybirds) with 552 for 1:02.7 in 100fs.  Ten other swimmers scored between 500 and 550 points.  Swimmers scoring over 400 points in the most events were Pete Lithgow (Whitecaps “A”) in 7 events, and Lydia Sanschagrin (6:30am Earlybirds), Tim Kilby (Whitecaps “A”/Coach), and Tony Revitt (6:30am Earlybirds in 6 events.

 

The top 3 improvements and the top 3 times for each event are also listed below, as are the results of the relays.

Full details on all Ontario Masters competitions can be found at: http://www.mastersswimmingontario.ca/competition/schedule01.htm. 

For Quebec competitions see: http://www.swimmeet.ca/ (select “FNQ” and then look at meets with meet type “Maitres”).

    

Here’s a list of upcoming competitions (mostly) in Ontario and Quebec.  More meets will be added as the information become available.  Note that meet entries and confirming meet information and entry dates are your responsibility. 

 

For those who like to plan ahead, it has just been announced that the 2009 Ontario Masters Championships will be held at the Nepean Sportsplex from March 20-22nd.  Also, the 2010 World Masters Aquatic Championships will be held in Goteborg and Boras, Sweden, from July 28-August 10th.

Nothing to report this time – please keep me posted with your endeavours!  
 

 

Ask the Coach

 

Dear Coach:  I would like to register for whitecaps child safety supervision fall-winter 2011. That's when my child-to-be will be the minimum three years old. I cannot seem to do so online.  Is there anything you can do?  Eager Dad-to-be (aka Steven Morton)

 

Dear E.D-t-b:  You will, of course, need to wait until 2011 to do the registration!  Congrats and see the announcement of this event in the “Swimmer Notes” above.

 

Dear Coach:  What do you recommend for cross-training for swimming?  A Triathlete

 

Dear A. Triathlete:  As a triathlete, you are likely already doing enough other aerobic stuff (with your running and cycling).  Some strength training and/or flexibility training can help with swimming, but generally it’s best to put the extra time into (more) swimming unless you’re already doing about 5 workouts (approx. 5-6hrs) per week.  A general weights program is a good place to start.  Core strength is important (abs / back, e.g. pilates, abs work, yoga, etc.), and flexibility of shoulders and ankles is also key.

 

Dear Coach:  Can you please re-post the links to the pool schedules so that I can figure out where to swim while the Carleton pool is closed?  Deleted the Last Newsletter – Oops

 

Dear D.t.L.N-Oops:  Remember that all the newsletters are posted on the web site (http://carletonmasters.tripod.com – link near the top).  But here it is again:

   Good (as in cool-ish water, adult swim times) city pools include Champagne, Plant, and Brewer.  Check out the schedules at: http://www.ottawa.ca/residents/parks_recreation/swimming/schedules/index_en.html.  Ottawa U also has pretty good public swim times, but their schedule changes after April 27th, so ensure that you have the current schedule: http://www.geegees.ca/assets/geegeereg/swimming/fall_winter.pdf. 

 

 

Private and Semi-Private Masters Swim Lessons

Reminders

 

Newsletter: An e-newsletter (like this one) is sent out about every two weeks.  If you have new lane-mates, please mention to them that they should give their e-mail address to their coach if they'd like to receive it.

 

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!)

Weekly Social Events: All swimmers are invited to join us for:

- Thursday Dinner (after Whitecaps workout: all year)

- Thursday Drinks (after Nightcaps workout: Sept-Apr)

- Saturday Brunch (after 9:30-10:30am workout: Sept-Jun)
