Time Trial and Relay Summary:
The information below on most improved and fastest swimmers is taken from the time trials done in August, and includes the relay splits.  Times done in competitions are not included.  If you participated in the time trials or relays I have a record of all the times/splits.  If your times are not listed here, just e-mail me for details.  (I have all time trial times recorded since May 2001.)

Ask the Coach
 
Dear Coach:  If I'm swimming 100s and descending each 100 by 2 seconds, does the pace time written on the board also descend, or is the given pace time a baseline which remains the same?  Learning Pace Clock Math
 
Dear L.P.C. Math:  Unless otherwise indicated, the pace time (written on the board) stays the same.  If you are descending each 100 by 2 seconds, you just get two seconds more rest each time.  If the pace time should also descend, the coach will indicate this clearly on the black board.
 
 
Fall/Winter Session Preview
The Fall session will start on Monday, September 15th.  (For workouts during the first two weeks of September see details on the interim workouts at the top of the newsletter.)  Full details on Fall/Winter session dates including cancellations can be found on the web site at: http://carletonmasters.tripod.com.
 
The regular Masters programs offered for Fall/Winter (i.e. mid-September to December, and January to April) are as follows: 7:30am Earlybirds, 8:30am Earlybirds, 6pm Whitecaps, and 8pm Nightcaps (back to the usual 8-9pm TuTh plus Sat am).  The 6:30am Earlybirds will resume after the Varsity Season ends and will run mid-March to April.  Cost for the Fall term for each program is $126+GST, except for Nightcaps which is $90+GST.  Child Safety Supervision will be offered at the 6pm Whitecaps workouts plus the 9am Saturday workout.  Cost for Safety Supervision for the Fall term is $84.
 
There will also be three High Intensity Masters programs offered.  These groups train with the Varsity team during the Varsity season (mid-September to February).  Swimmers must be able to repeat 100s free on 1:45 or less and 100s of other strokes on 2:00 or better.  Spaces are limited.  The High Intensity groups are: a) 6-7:30am MWF; b) 7:30-9:30am TuTh (Th is Long Course); and c) 7:15-9pm M, 6-7:40pm W, and 5-7pm Sat.  Cost for each program (Sept 15th to March 2nd) is $200+GST.
 
For the Fall/Winter session, the Whitecaps coaches will be Blake ("A" Group) and Mits ("B" Group).  Louise will coach the Nightcaps and Lynn will coach the Earlybirds.  Saturday mornings will be on a rotation among regular and substitute coaches.  For High Intensity, John will coach the evening workouts and Lynn will coach the mornings.
