Swim Suit Rules for Masters

The latest on swim suit rules for Masters is that the FINA Bangkok meeting on Jan 15-16^th, 2010 will likely approve Masters moving to the same rules that will be in force for age group swimmers as of Jan 1, 2010. Masters Swimming Canada is jumping the gun on this and plans to enforce the “new” probable rule as of Jan 1, 2010, before it is approved by FINA! In any case, the new rules will be one suit only, all fabric (no polyurethane), men’s suits can extend from navel to knee, women’s suits from shoulder to knee, but the only fastenings permitted for both genders are drawstrings, i.e. no hooks, zippers, etc, which pretty much means that women’s suits must have an open back. Keep this in mind if you plan to do any competing next year! Here are some articles on the probable FINA ruling:

A preliminary list of approved suits has been published by FINA: http://reachforthewall.com/2009/10/15/fina-puts-out-list-of-approved-2010-suits.

Carleton Masters Club History: Work in Progress!

Alan Hunt (8:30am Earlybirds)’s 20^th anniversary with Carleton Masters has led to many of you providing historical information on the team! Thanks to all who have contributed to this summary so far. We believe that Mariette Kenney (7:10pm Whitecaps), Helen Blais (x-6pm Whitecaps), and Ursula Scott (7:30am Earlybirds) are those who have been involved with Carleton Masters since before it started! This was likely back in 1982-1983 when Coach Tim Kilby was a lifeguard. Prior to the start of Carleton Masters some stroke improvement classes were offered, and shortly thereafter, possibly in January 1985 (or perhaps the year before?), Carleton Masters started. Helen has offered to get together with Mariette and Ursula to try to flesh this out a bit.

Don Wells (6pm Whitecaps) started with the team in Jan 1985. Joanne and Cam Dawson (6pm Whitecaps) joined in Sept 1985. Their son, Sean Dawson (fast lane swimmer with summer 6pm Whitecaps), was the founding member of Child Safety Supervision in 1988, when the Dawson’s hired a caregiver to take care of Sean at the pool while they swam.

I believe the only group running at that time was the 6pm group. Does anyone remember when the Sat am workouts started? Or exactly when the morning groups (7:30am and 8:30am) or 8pm Nightcaps started? The 7:10pm group started in Fall 2008.

Here’s a list of dates I have so far. Please send in more information!

Ursula Scott, Mariette Kenney, Helen Blais: Pre-Masters 1982-83?

Don Wells: Jan 1985

Cam and Joanne Dawson: Sept 1985

George Tombler (6pm Whitecaps): 1987

Safety Supervision 1988

Alan Hunt, Lina Vincent (6pm Whitecaps), Nicole Delisle (6pm Whitecaps): Sept 1989

Lynn Marshall (Coach): Dec 1989

Penny Estabrooks (8:30am Earlybirds): pre-1993

Lisa Bromley (7:10pm Whitecaps): 1994

7:10pm Whitecaps: Fall 2008

Mr. Smooth: http://www.swimsmooth.com/

A few of you have asked for my opinion of this web site. There’s quite a lot of advice there and most of it is reasonable, and the download is a neat desktop application. The animated swimmer has fairly good technique, although, in my opinion, his catch could be better, the stroke is a little narrow through the middle/back of the stroke, and his stroke is too short (at the back end). As with all advice, take it with a grain of salt or get a second opinion. While watching videos and reading about swimming can’t hurt, actually doing it yourself with feedback (as what it feels like isn’t always what it looks like!) is the best way to improve.

Swimmer Notes

Swimmer Updates:

- Congratulations to Louise Hayes (x-Masters Coach) and her husband, Christian Diotte, on the arrival of their first child, Annabelle Ghislaine Diotte on Tue Oct 6^th at 8:38pm. Annabelle weighed 6lb 8oz with “everything where it was supposed to be”! Louise reports that she is happy but exhausted. A photo of the happy family can be seen at: http://carletonmasters.tripod.com/09photo/.

- Best of luck to Val Walker (7:30am Earlybirds) for her Ph.D. defense at McGill on Fri Oct 30^th.

- Dave Bourdon (6pm Whitecaps) was in Cleveland on business last week. They have one of the fastest pools in the country at Cleveland State University (http://www.csuohio.edu/class/com/clevelandstater/Archives/Vol%202/Issue%208/sports/sports1.html). He was very excited to swim there, but discovered that it is for members only L !

- Bon voyage to Lois Finkel (7:30am Earlybirds) who is presenting a paper on communicating and documenting design research findings at the International Association of Societies of Design Research in Seoul, Korea later this month.

- Bon voyage also to Isla Paterson (8:30am Earlybirds) who is soon off to Bangladesh for work.

- Sean Kelly (x-Earlybirds) reports that he saw a cardiologist last month and that he’s exhibiting signs of hypertension likely caused by medication. Changes in the medication have to be done gradually, so it could take a year or so before he can rejoin Masters swimming. In the meantime, Sean is swimming at the Plant pool.

- Jen Lee (x-7:30am Earlybirds) reports that she’s settling in well at Mac and enjoying the lab she’s studying in. However, she’s finding the evening workouts for their Masters team don’t fit well in her schedule and reports that our facility is nicer as we have wider lanes and more lane ropes! Jen says “hi” to everyone!

- Lianna Fotia (x-8:30am Earlybirds) is both swimming and playing water polo for St Francis College in Brooklyn Heights, New York: http://sfcathletics.com/index.aspx?path=wswim; http://sfcathletics.com/index.aspx?path=wwater. Their first swim meet is Oct 31^st, and Lianna will likely be racing 1000yd free (yes, one thousand – the American’s race strange distances!), and 50 fly on a relay. Good luck, Lianna!

- Mary Jane and Guy Phillips (x-7:10pm Whitecaps) have moved back to Kingston. Guy has “retired” and they are getting well settled into their retirement home (complete with hot tub) and have reengaged with all of their Triathlon friends. Mary Jane has joined the Kingston Multisport Club (KMS) swim group at the local YMCA for her coached swimming (three days a week), rather than the rather uncoached Ol' Henry Masters. Guy finished off his triathlon season in good form with a 3rd in his age group in the Canadian Sprint Triathlon at Mooney's Bay and a second at the Demi-Esprit (Half-Iron) in Montreal, taking over 20:00 off his PB in the latter. Guy has been offered the opportunity to deploy to sea (in a Reserve Force capacity) with HMCS Fredericton, leaving shortly. He will be overseas off south west Asia for about 6 months.

- Here’s an update from Rob Trimbee (x-Earlybirds / Nightcaps): I returned to Toronto last December after 3+ years in Ottawa. Loved participating with the Carleton Masters team! A very well run operation, Carleton University should be proud! I'm back from a more than a month's worth of travel in the past two. Alaska in the summer, BC after that and Lake Louise last week, did some light training. 3.5 km. hike up and down to the Tea House (the equivalent of a CN Tower climb and descent). Yikes I'm out of shape! Now I know how it feels to exercise in rarified air. There is indeed a difference. I've had some unexpected injuries to recover from recently. No broken bones, just bruised ribs and ego! I swan dived onto some rocks - don't ask, a stupid move. I returned to swimming this fall, practicing at Ryerson for now. The media charity I'm working for launched its television service in January. We are doing something special for the Paralympics next year since it is in Canada - exciting times.

- And Leona Crabb (x-7:30am Earlybirds) sends this report from Petawawa: I am busy, as per usual. I'm now the Systems Control Officer on the base which means that I oversee a lot of the military procurement and contracting that goes on. It's a very interesting job and I'm enjoying it in spite of the fact that there always seems to be too few resources and too much to do. Well, I guess I can run but I can't hide -- I see I was busted by Susan N-Y at the Army Run. Overall, I was pretty happy with my time. I still wish I was swimming but, alas, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. These days, running better suits my schedule than the pool times. And being able to run far is more important to my job than being able to swim fast. Basically, I'd have to be able to run anyway and I just don't have the time to fit swimming into everything else I have/want to do. Oh well, swimming loses this time around.

Swimming Joke: Thanks to Irene Marushko (7:30am Earlybirds) for the Blonde’s “Year in Review” joke. I include here only “July” the swimming related month:

Lost breast stroke swimming competition. Learned later, the other swimmers cheated, they used their arms!!!

Swim Suits for Sale: The suits range in brand, style, and colour. The most expensive women’s suits are $40 and the most expensive men’s suits are $25, with most suits less than that. The swim suits are available for browsing whenever Lynn is coaching – just ask!

Caps and Goggles to Borrow: Lynn always has a “lost and found” bag full of spare caps and goggles to borrow if you forget (or break) yours.

50c Swim Caps: Triathlete and x-Carleton Masters swimmer Ellen Pazdzior and Joanie Conrad (Nightcaps) have kindly donated a large number of mostly new latex swim caps. The money raised by selling these for 50c will go towards the $45 annual fee to register Carleton Masters with Masters Swimming Ontario. Just ask Lynn if you’re interested in looking at these.

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

Race Results: (Please send in your results, and/or let me know if I missed your name!!

)

Sun Oct 11^th Chicago Marathon (34792 participants; 33608 finishers)

Congratulations to Mike on his performance! Full results at: http://results.chicagomarathon.com/2009/.

Mike Lau (6pm Whitecaps, 45-49): 2167^th overall, 1943^rd man and 174^th (out of 2138) in age group in 3:17:34 (3:17:02)

Here’s Mike’s report:

Things don’t always go as planned. My original plan is to finish around 3:05-3:15 with an even or negative split. 3:09 was my best time on a point-to-point course this year. I took a big gamble by going faster than I should with the huge crowd support in the first half of the race. At the half way point, my projected finish time was three minutes ahead of my goal. I struggled in the second half. At the end, my finish time is 2 minutes outside my goal. I was not too pleased with the 1:31 and 1:46 splits.

Sun Oct 11^th Ottawa Fall Colours Marathon (131 participants)

Did anyone else participate in these events? Full results at: http://www.sportstats.ca. Congrats to Steve on his respectable time, despite very little training!

Steve Morton (x-6pm Whitecaps, 35-39): 56^th overall, 51^st man and 12^th in age group in 3:51:27.

Ask the Coach

Dear Coach: Why do you keep moving the lanes (and the people in the lanes) around? Confused Swimmer

Dear C. Swimmer: It’s often a challenge to set up the lanes so that everyone has enough space to swim, and with people approximately their speed. If you’re not happy with the lane that you’re in, you are free to adjust (up or down) as long as you can make the pace times of the lane you move to (or are happy to keep out of the way if you get lapped). If you are not happy with the lane that you are moved to, let your coach know. We appreciate everyone being flexible, especially at busy workouts!

Dear Coach: Do people generally swim faster in the morning or the afternoon/evening? Adjusting My Clock

Dear A.M. Clock: All things being equal, most people swim faster later in the day as the body is more flexible and loosened up at that time. However, if you’ve had a very busy day and are tired out, that may not be the case!

Dear Coach: I find it very difficult to turn without grabbing the wall. Any advice? Improving My Turns

Dear I.M. Turns: At the Carleton pool it’s very difficult to not “grab” on open (non-flip) turns. Unless you are planning to compete in a pool with higher walls, then grabbing is just fine. If you do want to practice for racing in other pools, then try to touch with your hand(s) and then let your elbow(s) bend slightly to give a better grip on the wall. Ask your coach for more help if you’re still having trouble. At all pools, including ours, you should finish every swim without grabbing the wall (touch with your fingertips).

Dear Coach: Can I do flip turns while racing butterfly? Not Sure of the Rules

Dear N.S.o.t. Rules: The short answer is no, or at least not easily! The longer answer is that in fly you must touch the wall with both hands while still on your stomach. I suppose that after that, you could do a flip turn (between your arms), but you are already so close to the wall that it wouldn’t give any advantage. Thus an open turn is the best way to turn in fly.
