Feedback Forms / Pool Shutdown / Spring
Session:
A big thank you to everyone who completed a feedback form -- we
received
86 completed forms! I'll be including some of the
statistics and suggestions in the next few newsletters.
I hope everyone is enjoying the break from swimming at
Carleton! The
Spring session starts on Monday, May 6th (the day the pool reopens after
the
annual maintenance). Please register for the Spring/Summer
sessions ASAP, especially if you want to swim in the earlier Nightcaps
session. As of end of day Thursday, April 25th, seven (of the
required 12) have signed up for the earlier Nightcaps session. We
will
make a decision early next week on the May/June
Nightcaps.
If you are not planning to swim over the summer and would like to
be
removed from the e-mailing list, just let me know.
End of Session Dinner:
We had a great turn out for the end of term dinner at
Papagus. A big
thank you to Coach Mits for organizing it, and for
showing
up despite an awful cold! Retiring Head Coach
Kristi
received thank you cards and a bike computer from the team. She
will be
putting the bike speedometer/odometer to good use as she trains for
triathlons
this summer! Thanks again, Kristi, for all your work!!

Feedback Forms Information (Part
1):
Here is some information received from the 86 feedback forms
received:
Whitecaps Theme Nights:
There was a proposal to rotate the theme nights instead of always
doing IM
on Monday, choice on Tuesday and free on Thursday. 24 were in
favour of
the change. 7 were ok with the idea if they could know in advance
what
each day would be. 2 weren't sure, and 6 were opposed. Thus,
as one
swimmer suggested, we'll try it for the summer and vote again in
August.
For those who like to plan ahead, the themes will be posted on the
bulletin
board and on the web page. The first week will follow the "normal"
order
(IM Monday, choice Tuesday, and free on Thursday).
About You:
How long attending?: 30%: 1 term to 1 year; 17%:
2-5
years; 16%: 10 years or more; 16%: 1-2 years; 13%: 1
term or
less; 8%: 5-10 years. While 60% have been
swimming
with Carleton Masters for less than 2 years, 16% (1 in 6) have been
swimming at Carleton for at least 10 years!
How many swims per week?: 56%: 3 times; 36%:
twice; 7%: 4 times; 1%: once. Not many
make the
full 4 workouts per week!
Swimming for?: 76: Fitness; 23: Social; 18:
Triathlons; 11: Masters Competitions; plus 1-3 responses each for:
Varsity
Swim, Varsity Waterpolo, Open Water Swims; and Cross-Training for:
Cross-Country
Skiing, Cycling, Bike Racing, Mountain Biking, Running, Walking, and
Paddling. What an active bunch!
Are you a?: 81%: Off-Campus Member; 10%: CU
Student; 5%:
Faculty; 2%: Alumni; 2% Staff/Retired Staff.
Most
people buy a membership!
Your age?: 36%: 30-39; 26%: 20-29; 22%: 40-49;
9%:
50-59; 4%: 60+; 3%: <20. That's a
pretty good
bell curve!
Your sex?: 57%: female; 43% male. Eleven
people
missed this question?! If they were all men, it would have been
50-50!
Workouts Attended: Including both regularly and
sometimes: 35:
6pm Thursday; 33: 6pm Monday; 32: 6pm Tuesday;
26: 7:30am
Wednesday; 25: 7:30am Monday; 25: 8am Saturday; 24: 7:30am
Friday; 20: 9am Saturday. Very Earlybirds, Nightcaps and
8:30am
Earlybird responses ranged from 10-13, except 8:30am Wednesday had only
7.
The numbers look reasonable, except that I think some Very
Earlybirds must have forgotten to hand in their feedback forms :-)
!
More to come in the next few newsletters, including your comments
on the
workouts, coaches, and facility.
Mini Swim Camp:
The mini swim camp will be held: Saturday, June 15th 5-7pm
and
Sunday, June 16th 8:30-10:30am. The cost will be $40 for
both
days and $25 for one day, plus $10 for the (optional)
videotaping. The clinic will also be open to
non-Carleton
Masters at a higher cost: $60 for both days, $40 for one day, and $15
for
videotaping. As last year, we will offer clinics covering each
stroke, as
well as starts and turns, and will keep the ratio of swimmers to coaches
at
around 10:1. Coaches confirmed to date are: John, Tim, Louise and
Lynn.
Those videotaped on Saturday will get their feedback from
7:30-8:30pm, and
those on Sunday will get their feedback from 11am-noon. The
videotaping
will cover two strokes and you will be taped both above and
underwater.
If you have not already done so, please let me know if you are
interested
in attending this clinic, which day(s) you will attend, whether you are
interested in videotaping and on which day.
Fun Swim Meet:
We need 12 people to go ahead with the fun swim meet:
Saturday,
June 22nd 5-7pm. So far only three people have expressed
interest. There will be a $10 charge to cover the pool rental
fees.
I'll set the events based on what people are interested in
swimming. Let
me know if you are interested in participating as well as the events
you'd like
to swim. I'll finalize the program by mid-May.
New and Nearly New Swim Equipment For
Sale:
There are still caps, a (different) pair of goggles, and some
women's
suits available for sale. The caps are priced at $1. The
goggles $4,
and the suits $10-$20 at the buyer's discretion. Ask to look at
our
"boutique"!
Club News:
Margaret (Earlybirds) dropped by the pool on the
last day
to show us her new tattoo! If you didn't get a chance to see it
yet, do
check it out!
Where to Swim When Carleton is
Closed?:
A few people have asked for recommendations on pools to swim at
during the
pool shutdown. Two that I recommend (with cool water temperatures,
and
lots of adult swims with designated fast/medium/slow lanes) are Ottawa
University, and Champagne Pool. Brewer Pool is the closest to
Carleton,
but is quite warm and sometimes very busy.
Disclaimer: I
am in no way associated with any of these pools, and the above is only
my
opinion :-) !
The pool hours change on April 29th, and as they
don't yet
seem to be posted, here's a quick summary:
M-F 7:30-8:30am, M-F 11:30am-1:30pm, M-F 4-5:30pm, M/W/F
6:30-9pm,
Tu/Th 7:30-9pm, Sat/Sun 2-4:30pm
It costs $2.35 to swim at a City of Ottawa pool. The Brewer
and
Champagne schedules are at:

Swim Meets
(please let me know if I've missed anyone or any
races!):
Quebec Provincials:
Three members of Carleton Whitecaps swam at the Quebec Provincial
Championships April 19-21st. Each was swimming for a
different
club! Lina V (Whitecaps) was swimming for
Carleton.
Caroline S (Nightcaps) was swimming for St. Laurent,
and
Jim W (Whitecaps) was swimming for Etobicoke. It
was a
big meet with 670 swimmers participating, and was held in
Montreal.
Lina (swimming in her new 50-54 age group), got 4
firsts
(50fs, 100fs, 50fly, and 100IM) -- her 50fs time (33.91) and 50fly time
(37.88)
were especially impressive, and were both under the Quebec records (but
she is
not eligible for these, as she's from Ontario)! She also placed
2nd in 100
and 200br, and 4th in 50br. While she was a bit disappointed in
her
breaststroke times, this is a great start to her new age group!
Jim, also new in the 50-54 age group, placed
first in
his 7 events: 1500fs; 50, 100 & 200br; 200bk; 200 & 400IM.
His
200br (2:59.65) was under the Quebec record.
Caroline, in the very competitive 25-29 age
group, placed 6th in 50bk, 8th in 50 & 200br, 10th in 100br,
and 18th
in 50fs.
World Masters Championships (NZ) and Ontario
Provincials:
Jim also recently competed in the World
Masters
Championships (end of March, Christchurch, NZ), swimming for TOMS (The
Ontario
Masters Swimmers), and also in the Ontario Provincials (early
April,
Etobicoke), swimming for Etobicoke.
At Worlds, Jim placed 4th in the 3k open water swim, 8th in 200bk,
10th in
400IM, 11th in 200IM, 13th in 800fs and 15th in 200br. At Worlds
the top
10 get medals, so Jim had quite a haul!
At Provincials, Jim placed 1st in 800 and 1500fs, 2nd in 200bk, 3rd
in
200br, and 5th in 200 & 400IM. As Jim swam the 800 and 1500
one after
the other, he is to be commended for these performances!!
Kingston 1/2 Marathon (April 21st):
Rudy H (Earlybirds/Whitecaps) competed in the
Kingston
Half Marathon, finishing 65th overall, 55th male, and 6th in the Men's
50-59 age
group -- good job Rudy. (Oh, yeah, he also cycled to the race from
Sharbot
Lake -- crazy or what?!?)
Dear Coach: There is a
formula you
can apply to a runner's time for any distance that will predict his/her
time on
a greater distance. It takes into account fatigue, etc. Is
there
something similar for swimming? How Fast Should I
Be?!
Dear H.F. Should-I-Be: I don't know of an
exact formula,
but I'd suggest using the International Point Score (IPS) charts as a
starting
point: http://www.swimnews.com/IPS.do.
They give a number of points to any swim. You can then figure out
the
corresponding time for a different distance/stroke that's worth the same
number
of points. That should get you started!
Very Earlybirds, Earlybirds and Nightcaps
Notes
Attendance:
130 swimmers attended at least one Very Earlybird or Earlybird
workout in
the Winter term. The minimum number at the Very Earlybirds
(6:30am) was 13
and the maximum was 25, with a mean of 18.1. The 7:30am group
ranged
between 12 and 30 with a mean of 21.5. The 8:30am group ranged
from 6 to
18 with a mean of 10.8. The total number of swimmers each morning
ranged
from 28 to 56 with a mean of 41.3.
64 swimmers attended at least one Nightcaps workout in the Winter
term. The minimum number of swimmers was 7, and the maximum was
24, with a
mean of 12.0.
Those deserving recognition for perfect attendance this term are
Alan (8:30am Earlybirds) and Andrew K
(6:30am
Very Earlybirds). Special mention goes to Bernie
(7:30am
Earlybirds) for coming within 10 days of a perfect year's attendance and
finishing the year (May 2001-April 2002) missing just one workout!

Time Trial and Relay
Summary:
The information below on most improved and fastest swimmers is
taken
from the Time Trials done in the Earlybird and Nightcaps sessions
between March
26th and April 19th, and includes the 800/1500 time trials from March
26/27th,
as well as the relay splits from April 18/19th. (Normally, only
the first
swimmer on a relay gets an official split, but as we didn't use blocks
for
Earlybirds and the Nightcaps couldn't dive in, I took all of them into
consideration.) Times done in competitions were not
eligible.
There were some very big improvements, with five swimmers improving
by over
5sec/100m!! The 3 most improved female swimmers were
Joelle (Nightcaps), Isla (Earlybirds)
and
Kathy B (Nightcaps). Joelle took 3.8 seconds of
her
50fs. Isla took 3.6 seconds off her 50br, and Kathy took 3.3
seconds off
her 50fly! Mark Hynes and Tony
P (both Nightcaps) were the top men. Mark and Tony
both
improved most in their 100fs taking off 6.3 and 5.6 seconds,
respectively!
The International Point Scores (link to web page below) are used to
determine the best swims. For the fastest female, Barb
M
and Lila (both Varsity Swim/Earlybirds) were very
close.
Barb's 50fs edged Lila's 1500fs by 1 point (563 to 562).
Sheila
K (Very Earlybirds/Whitecaps) was the top non-Varsity female
with 451
points for her 400fs. Alicia
(Waterpolo/Earlybirds 2) was
next with 438 points for her 50fs. Second non-Varsity female was
Tamara (Very Earlybirds), who is new to Carleton
Masters this
term, with 430 points for 50br; followed closely by
Mel
(Earlybirds 1) for third with 428 points for her 50fs.
For the men, Corey (Waterpolo/Earlybirds 1) was
top with
602 points for his 50fs, followed by Tom A (High
Intensity/Earlybirds) with 587 points for 50fly.
Serge
(Earlybirds/Whitecaps/Nightcaps) was the top Master with 550 points for
his
50fly. Royce (Varsity Swim/Earlybirds) was next
with 497
points for 50fs, followed closely by sprinter John
Waring
(Varsity Coach/Nightcaps) with 480 points in (of all things!) 1500
fs.
David Barclay (Earlybirds 1) was 2nd Master with 464
points in
his 50fs, followed by John Westdal (Very Earlybirds)
who was
3rd with 453 points for his 1500fs.
The relays on the last day went very well with some close races,
and ties
for the Earlybird 2s! The results of all the relays are
below. Top
honours in the free relay went to Earlybird 1 Team #2: David
Bickle,
Chris K, Bernie and David Barclay in 2:21.3. The fastest
team in
the medley relay was Very Earlybird Team #3: Jim Y, Andy J,
Kristi, and
Dave Bourdon in 2:42.3.
Great job everyone!!

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?: 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.

Weight Training for Swimmers:
A six-hour program on strength
training for
swimmers was offered 11am-1pm Saturdays January 12th, 19th and February
2nd. This course was poorly attended (4 people) and the Athletics
department is reluctant to offer it again, unless attendance is
up. If you
would be interested in this course either now, in the Spring/Summer or
next
Fall, please let me know . Also, let me know what time/day works
best for
you.
Your input to this newsletter is most welcome,
especially
for the race results and "Ask the Coach" sections! To be
added or
removed from the receiver list, just let me know (lynnmarshall@sympatico.ca).
See you at the pool!
