Swimmer Notes   

 

Swimmer Updates:

   Karen Jensen (7:30am Earlybirds) is hosting a baby shower for Jill Patrick (7:30am Earlybirds) and Jose Vivanco (6pm Whitecaps I) on Sat Apr 25th starting at 5pm.  All are welcome (kids, spouses, grandparents, everyone)!  Here are the details: Where: 19 Ardell Grove in Craig Henry; Phone: (613) 226-6226.  What to bring: (1) swim suit and towel (their pool will be heated to bath-like temp’s); (2) food – everyone whose last name starts with the letters A-H brings a dessert, I-P brings a main course, Q-Z brings a salad; (3) money for a group gift (to be determined) for Jill and Jose; (4) optional: little gift for the wee babe.

   Christiane Guibord (6pm Whitecaps 1) had surgery on Mon Apr 6th to repair her broken pinky finger and is now recovering well. 

   On Wed Apr 15th, Flo Shinder (x-8:30am Earlybirds) visited the pool to see the Earlybirds.  It was great to see her looking so well.  You’d never guess that she is still recovering from fracturing her shoulder and hip.  Flo is moving to Montreal this summer.  We’ll miss her!!  

   Linda Rossman (7:30am Earlybirds) organized a reunion for the women in her first year University of Waterloo residence floor this past summer: http://alumni.uwaterloo.ca/alumni/spotlight/profiles/linda_rossman_09.html.  Sounds like it was a lot of fun!

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 41 women (this is a record!) and 17 men who improved in at least one event.  The biggest improvement overall was by Ken Johnson (6pm Whitecaps 1) who improved his 100bk by 26.4 seconds (26.4sec/100m)!!  The largest improvement among the women was by Carol Alexander (8:30am Earlybirds) who improved her 50fs by 8.0 seconds (16.0sec/100m).  She was followed closely by Linda Rossman (7:30am Earlybirds) who improved her 200fs by 31.2 seconds (15.6sec/100m).  Others improving by over 10sec/100m were: Siobhan Welsh (8:30am Earlybirds): 56.8 seconds in 400fs (14.2sec/100m); Mary Jane Phillips (7:10pm Whitecaps 2): 1:53 in 800fs (14.1sec/100m); Irene Marushko (7:30am Earlybirds): 55.7 seconds in 400fs (13.9sec/100m), Sebastien Robillard-Cardinal (6pm Whitecaps 1): 12.8 seconds in 100bk (12.8sec/100m), and Iyad Abbas (7:30am Earlybirds): 47.3 seconds in 400fs (11.8sec/100m).  Honourable mention goes to Carla Sowinski (8:30am Earlybirds) who again improved in no less than 6 different events!  Brad Shapansky and Linda Rossman (both 7:30am Earlybirds) improved in 5 events.

 

The International Point Scores (link to web page below) are used to determine the best swims.  There were 11 women and 8 men scoring 400 points or above in at least one event.  Mihai Mateescu (6pm Whitecaps I) was top point scorer with 609 points for 27.2 in 50fs.  Hilary March (6pm Whitecaps 1) was just one point behind with 608 points for her 30.7 50fs.  Also scoring over 500 points were Heather Macdonald (6pm Whitecaps 1) with 599 for 5:49.1 in 400IM, Joanna Brown (Nightcaps) with 528 for 21:32 in 1500fs, and Gi Wu (6pm Whitecaps 1) with 502 for 29.4 in 50fs.  Don Wells (6pm Whitecaps 1) scored over 400 points in 6 different events.  Tricia Gerrow and Pete Lithgow (both 6pm Whitecaps I) scored over 400 points in 5 events.

 

This term the “team spirit” award goes to Francois Audet (7:30am Earlybirds).  He was nominated by Karen Jensen (7:30am Earlybirds) for adjusting his pace times so she could keep up, and encouraging her to stay in his lane and work on her breaststroke.

 

All those improving and all those scoring over 400 points, as well as the top 3 improvements and the top 3 times for each event are also listed below, as are the results of the relays.

Ask the Coach

 

Dear Coach: 

 

Dear Coach:  Can you repeat that list of pool URLs in the end of term newsletter?  Another Keen Swimmer

 

Dear A.K. Swimmer:  Sure!  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 Winter schedule ends May 1st, so ask for the latest information if you plan to swim there after that: http://www.geegees.ca/sites/all/themes/geegees/schedules/swim_sched_2008_2009.pdf.

 

Dear Coach:  Will there be any other programs offered (as well as those listed below) for Spring/Summer 2009?  Am I too slow for the 6pm group?  Decisions, Decisions

 

Dear D. Decisions:  No, the list below if the full list of what is being offered.  All groups cater to a wide variety of abilities.  Anyone who can swim 1000m in an hours and who knows the basics of at least two competitive strokes, can join any Carleton Masters group.

 

Dear Coach:  Where’s a good place locally for swim wear and swim gear (e.g. pull buoys)?  Want New Stuff

 

Dear W.N. Stuff:  Locally, your best bets are Sports Experts and Motionware Source for Sports (Barrhaven).  Call ahead if you’re looking for something in particular.  Not really local, but Aquasport (http://www.aquasport.ca) in Montreal does phone and on-line orders.
