Spring Session Summary

First, a big thank you to: regular coach: Mits Kachi (7:10pm Whitecaps II) and the other Saturday coaches this term: Kristi Dean, Tim Kilby, and Blake Christie.

 

My apologies to the Whitecaps for the “fun day” being in the shallow end which meant no dives for the relays and no bubbles L !

 

Thanks to all those who helped with the starting blocks for the end of term Earlybirds relays.  And a big thank you to the Earlybirds for the “Grace in the Kitchen” gift card!

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 22 women and 14 men who improved in at least one event.  Most improved overall was Romy Schaffenburg (6pm Whitecaps 1) who improved her 800 free by a whopping 2:46 (20.8sec/100m).  Second most improved and most improved man was Charles McFarland (7:30am Earlybirds) who improved his 50 breast by 7.8 seconds (15.6sec/100m).  Next was Lucie Boudreau (8:30am Earlybirds) who improved her 50 breast by 5.7 seconds (11.4sec/100m).  Third for the women was Natalie Aucoin (6pm Whitecaps 1) who improved her 200 fly by 17.8 seconds (11.4/100m).  Rounding out the top three for the men were Rod Haney (6pm Whitecaps 1) who improved his 400 free by 32.1 seconds (8.0/100m), and Iyad Abbas (7:30am Earlybirds) who improved his 200 free by 15.3 seconds (7.7sec/100m).  Lucie and Shauna Ironside (8:30am Earlybirds) improved in four events each!

 

The International Point Scores (link to web page below) are used to determine the best swims.  There were 10 women and 10 men scoring 400 points or above in at least one event.  Hilary March (6pm Whitecaps 1) had the highest point score with 629 points for 1:06.4 in 100 free.  Next was Jean-Francois Jacques (7:30am Earlybirds) with 545 points for 28.1 in 50 free, followed by Rob Kalwarowski (6pm Whitecaps 1) with 530 points for 28.4 in 50 free.  Next was Lianna Fotia (8:30am Earlybirds) with 500 points for 2:38.3 in 200 free, and then Kaity Sennema (7:10pm Whitecaps 2 / Pool Staff) with 497 points for 5:34 in 400 free.  Rounding out the top 3 were Gi Wu (6pm Whitecaps 1) with 477 points for 29.6 in 50 free, and Tricia Gerrow (6pm Whitecaps 1) with 483 points for 33.6 in 50 free.  Both Lianna and Rob scored over 500 points in five different events!

Since this race, Guy had the unfortunate experience of driving into his garage with his bike still attached to the roof of his car.  If you ever mount your bike on the roof and have an automatic garage door opener, he now recommends locking it in your glove box so that this never happens to you!

Ask the Coach

 

Dear Coach:  Can I still sign up for the summer session?  A Procrastinator

 

Dear A. Procrastinator:  You can still sign up for the 7:30am group as there are spots left.  The 6pm group is currently full and we are starting a waiting list.

 

Dear Coach:  I have eczema and am quite sensitive to the pool chemicals but was wondering if anyone else has been having problems with their skin lately?  Swim Rash

 

Dear S. Rash:  Sorry to hear about your eczema flaring up.  The pool chemicals have been within the normal range lately.  However, there has been a high bather load due to school groups at the end of the school year and with Sports Camp starting up now.  While I’m probably preaching to the choir, here are some suggestions from my dermatologist to help with dry skin and eczema that are made worse by swimming:

- get in the shower quickly after your swim (don’t let the pool water dry on your skin)

- wash in warm (not hot) water

- avoid putting soap/bodywash on affected areas

- pat skin dry (don’t rub)

- put on moisturizer right away (or right after you apply cortisone cream to affected areas)
