Announcements
Toonie Workouts:
Here are the details on the remaining toonie workouts
(cost $2 each -- just pay the coach on deck). We are opening up these workouts (except December 29th), to
non-members for $5, so pass along the
word!
Thursday, December 27th:
6:00-7:15pm (Mits)
Friday, December 28th:
6:00-7:15pm (Mits)
Saturday, December 29th:
8:30-9:30am or 9:30-10:30am (Lynn) *
Sunday, December 30th:
8:30-9:30am or 9:30-10:30am (Lynn) *
* Note that the morning workouts will be joint with
the Varsity team. While most of the Varsity team will be away (home
for the holidays) on December 21st and 22nd, and December 30th does not look to
be too popular with Masters, we anticipate that the pool will be quite crowded
on Saturday, December 29th. Those looking for a quiet swim may be better
off attending on Sunday, December 30th!
Winter Session: The Winter session starts on Wednesday, January 2nd for
the Earlybirds and on Thursday, January 3rd for the Whitecaps
and Nightcaps. Cost for the Winter session (which runs until April
18/19th) is $125 + $8.75 GST = $133.75 for Earlybirds and Whitecaps, and $85 +
$5.95 GST = $90.95 for Nightcaps. Coaches will be the same as in the Fall:
Earlybirds: Lynn; Whitecaps: Kristi and Mits; Nightcaps: Lynn; Saturdays:
Rotating schedule (posted on website). There is still space in all
groups. Safety Supervision is available for the winter session for the
same workouts as in the Fall (Mon, Tue, Thu Whitecaps and the later Saturday
workout). Sign up through the Office (8:30am-4:30pm M-F 520-4480) for all
programs.
Birthday Card for Catherine
Bridges: Charles S (Whitecaps) has suggested that all sign a birthday
card for Catherine (her birthday is Feb 19th) -- she's the woman who swam with
us a few years ago and is currently recovering from a very serious car
accident last summer. I'll bring one in and post it on the bulletin board
in early January.
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?: If you are interested in getting copies of the Earlybird or
Nightcaps Masters workouts ahead of time? Let me know. I
usually e-mail out the week’s workouts on Sunday.
Social Events: All swimmers
are invited to join us for:
Thursday Dinner (after Whitecaps workout): Meet by
the Tuck Shop around 7:45pm
Thursday Drink (after Nightcaps workout): Meet by
the Tuck Shop around 9:30pm
Saturday Brunch (after 9-10am workout): Meet by the
Tuck Shop around 10:30am
Triathletes: Check
out Rudy Hollywood’s (Earlybirds/Whitecaps) website: http://www.trirudy.com and subscribe
to the daily tri-news e-mail.
Race Reports
and Swim Meets (as
usual, please let me know if I've missed anyone or any
races!):

not yet registered with MSO (Masters Swimming Ontario), will have a chance to do
so in January (deadline January 12th). Cost is $25 ($20 to MSO, $5 club
cost). Make your cheque payable to "Carleton Masters Swim Club". I
will post a sign up sheet on the bulletin board (alternatively, send me your

There are two swim meets coming up in January that
may be of interest. I'll be posting a sign up sheet for the Ottawa meet as

Ask the Coach
Dear Coach:
I
plan to do an Ironman Triathlon next summer and need wetsuit advice. Can
you help? Wetsuit Novice
Dear W.Novice: As wetsuits are not permitted in the
open water swims that I do, I know very little about wetsuits. However,
Rudy Hollywood (trirudy@sympatico.ca,
http://www.trirudy.com) has some extra
wetsuits that he loans out for a donation to charity, and I'm sure he'd be happy
to let you try those and also offer advice on the best type to get/borrow.
Make sure you've tried the wetsuit out before you race in it. Feel free to
bring your wetsuit to workout for a trial (if it's still too cold to try it
outdoors!).
Early Birds and Night Caps
Notes
Here are the Fall session statistics for Early Birds and Nightcaps...
Early Birds
A total of 60 swimmers attended at least one Early Bird I workout
(7:30-8:30am MWF), while 39 different swimmers attended at least one Early Bird
II workout (8:30-9:30am MWF), for a total of 84 swimmers!
The minimum number at an Early Bird I workout was 14 (Friday, October
19th), and the maximum was 28 (Monday, November 26th). The average (mean)
was 21.13 over 40 workouts. The minimum number at an Early Bird II workout
was 6 (Friday, November 30th and Monday, December 10th), and the maximum was 16
(Monday, September 24th and Wednesday, September 26th). The average was
11.03 (over 40 workouts). The Early Bird I and II total minimum attendance
was 24 (Monday, December 10th). The maximum was 40 (Monday, November
26th), and the average was 32.16.
Nightcaps
A total of 80 swimmers attended at least one Nightcaps workout (8-9pm
TuTh). The minimum number at Nightcaps was 9 (Thursday, December 20th
[Xmas shopping?!]), and the maximum was 34 (Tuesday, October 23rd). The
average (mean) was 24.07 over 28 workouts.
The attendance leaders are listed below. Special mention to
Bernie (EB1) for having perfect attendance for the third
session in a row!
41 swimmers took part in the time trials, for a total of 94 swims!
There were lots of great swims and some big improvements! The most
improved swimmers (compared to the Early Bird summer time trials) are listed
below along with the fastest swimmers overall (based on International Point
Scores), and the top three in each event, and the most improved in each
event. The most popular events were 50fs (20 swimmers), 100fs (17
swimmers), and 50 fly(!) (13 swimmers). No one swam 800 or 1500fs, 200bk,
200fl or 400IM! The events with just one swimmer were 200br, 100fl and
200IM. We'll do time trials again in April, so start planning your
strategy now (depending on whether you want your name in the newsletter or not
;-) ) !
Margaret (EB2) won the most improved female (and overall)
swimmer for the second consecutive session -- at this rate she'll be
representing Canada (or Britain!?) at the next Olympics!
Congratulations also to Mo M, Richard P, David
M (all EB1), and Pete L (WC&NC) for
breaking 500 in the point tables! Many of you who had never raced before
had great results and have your names listed below. Some new swimmers made
the top 5 overall -- special congratulations to Claire, Anna, Natalie G,
and Julie, and to everyone else who was brave enough
to try a time trial or two! John Waring, Varsity Head
Coach, had the highest point score!
24 swimmers took part in the Early Bird I relays, and 8 swimmers took part
in each of the Early Bird II and Nightcaps relays. Everyone swam well (and
had fun, I think)! Results are below.

Goals for 2002: If anyone has any
(specific or general) goals for 2002 that I should be aware of and/or can help
with, please don't hesitate to let me know, and I'll ensure that your training
is appropriate (e.g. if you want to swim an Ironman distance swim for the first
time your training would be a bit different from someone who wants to do a best
time 50m free)!
