Toonie Workout Schedule

The "toonie" workouts are underway. These workouts cost $2 each (pay the coach on deck) and are open to all who have registered for the Fall Masters and High Intensity programs. All workouts are 6-lanes (one coach) with no child safety supervision offered. The schedule is:

Mits, Heather, Claudia, Lynn, Kristi and Louise will all be coaching the toonie workouts. The coaching schedule is posted on the web page.

Fall Session Information

The Fall Programs officially start on Monday, September 16th. The Athletics Program Guide with the program information is out and registration is open! Full details (including cancellations) are on the web page. A summary of programs/prices is given near the end of this newsletter. There is still space in all programs, but register soon to avoid disappointment. The Fall Saturday coaching schedule is posted on the website, as are the Toonie and Fall workout themes.

Masters Phone/E-Mail List

There are a few swimmers interested in George's (Whitecaps) idea of a Masters phone / e-mail list. This information would be shared only with other Carleton Masters swimmers. If you would like to have your phone number and/or e-mail address included, please send me the information you would like to appear by the end of September. A list will be produced and circulated only to those on the list.

Summer Session Notes: Here are the attendance stats, and the time trial results!

Attendance (July/August):

Congratulations to Elaine Y (EB1) for being the only swimmer with perfect attendance for the Summer session weekdays, with Debbie O (WCA) a close second, missing only one workout! While the attendance for July/August was down for the morning groups and Whitecaps "B", the attendance for July/August was actually higher for Whitecaps "A" than in May/June! Those missing five or fewer weekday workouts are listed here:

Very Early Birds (25 weekday mornings, excludes Sat)

1. Dave Bourdon missed 4 workouts

2. Jacinthe missed 5 workouts

7:30am Early Birds (25 weekday mornings, excludes Sat)

1. Elaine Y perfect attendance!

2. Isla missed 4 workouts

3. Dorothy, Jeff F missed 5 workouts

2. Elaine C, Patricia missed 4 workouts

3. Andras, Joanie, Rob V missed 5 workouts

Whitecaps "B" (25 evenings, excludes Sat)

2. 7:30am Early Birds 9-25 15.1

3. Very Early Birds 6-23 14.4

4. Whitecaps "B" 4-22 8.9

Time Trial and Relay Summary:

The information below on most improved and fastest swimmers is taken from the sprint time trials done August 19-28th, and also includes the 800/1500 time trials from August 14th/15th, as well as the relay splits from August 30th. I discovered that I cannot take splits for 6 relays at once, so I was not able to record any splits for the Whitecaps relays on August 29th -- many apologies! :-( Times done in competitions are not included.

Fewer people did time trials than in June. This is partly due to the lack of relay splits, but also due to vacations. The award for dedication goes to Krista B (V) for doing no less than three 1500m time trials! Debbie O (WCA) gets the consistency award for exactly equalling her 1500m time from last time.

There were some great improvements with nine women and eight men improving by at least 2sec/100m in at least one event. Those improving over 5sec/100m deserve special mention. Jacinthe (VEB) gets top honours for taking over 3min off her 1500m time (12.5sec/100m!!), while Andy J (WPC) took over 2.5 minutes off his 1500 (10.1sec/100m!!). Also in the 1500, Jim Y and David M (both VEB) took off, respectively, just over and just under 1.5 minutes for improvements of 6.4 and 5.8 sec/100m! All those improving by 2sec/100m or more are listed under "Most Improved Swimmers" while all the improvements are listed under "Swimmers Who Improved in Each Event".

The International Point Scores (link to web page below) are used to determine the best swims. There were 10 women and 11 men who scored 400 points or more in at least one event. Krista B (V) scored over 800 points for a great 50br!! Keegan's (V) 50br was next at 737, followed by my 1500 at 710! Others scoring over 500 were Debbie O, Patricia, Karine, Don W, and Richard I (all WCA) all for their 1500s, as well as Jamie and Josee in 50fs. All those scoring 400+ are listed below under "Fastest Swimmers", while the top three in each event are listed under "Fastest Three Times in Each Event".

The results of all the relays are below (under "Fun Relays"). Thanks to everyone who participated, especially to Maurice and Jamie who participated in the relays in two different workouts, and to the Very Earlybirds (David Barclay, Dave Bourdon, and Jamie), who had to swim twice on their relays (as there were only 6 swimmers!). I think that for many the highlight was playing in the bubbler :-) !

Ask the Coach

Dear Coach: I find that I am very stuffed up after swimming, probably due to the large amount of water that goes up my nose during workout. What do you recommend? I think nose clips are for wimps! Sniff'n and Sneez'n

Dear S. a. Sneez'n: It seems that many adult swimmers are developing sensitivity to the chlorine. In addition, for beginner swimmers avoiding getting water up your nose is just one more thing to worry about. I recommend nose clips for both these situations. It takes a while to get used to breathing in and out through your mouth, but the lack of sniffles and nose fulls of water is worth it. There are quite a few good swimmers wearing nose clips these days, so they're not only for wimps! I recently got a supply of good noseclips through Claudia, one of our coaches who works at Synchro Canada. They cost $4.30 each. I'm selling them for $5, with the 70c profit going to the club account. If you're interested, just let me know!
