Men’s Locker
Room: Shower Area Repairs.
In order to replace some areas of
floor tiles in the showers of the men's locker room, the front section of
the shower area will be closed until Wed Sept
7th. The rear section of the shower area will be
open for normal use. Access to the pool deck will be via the stairway at
the rear (left side) of the locker room. We apologize for any
inconvenience this required repair work may cause.
Tentative
Whitecaps Fall Set Up
This Fall session, we will have 11
lanes for Whitecaps, as the ROCS club will be using the deep end lane nearest
the diving well. Mits and I have discussed this, and come up with a
tentative plan. Mits will coach the Whitecaps “B” group in the shallow end
(6 lanes). The fastest lane on the “B” side will do aerobic 100s free on
1:50 and 100s choice / IM on 2:05. I will coach the “A” group in the deep
end (5 lanes). The slowest lane on the “A” side will do aerobic 100s free
on 1:45 and 100s choice / IM on 2:00. Note that this may need to be
modified, based on the speed of the swimmers that register for Whitecaps, but it
should be about right! It might take us a few workouts to get the lanes
sorted to everyone’s satisfaction, so please be patient and flexible. I’ve
had a request that for 06-07, the fastest Whitecaps “A” lane swim next to the
wall (instead of near the diving well) this year, so we’ll try that,
too.

Technique Links: Blair Christie (Winter Whitecaps “A”)
was kind enough to send some good links on swimming technique, related to the

Ravens of
Carleton Swimming Information: The Ravens of Carleton Swimming Club offers

swimming and water exercises for high school students designed to improve
swimming skills and fitness for teens involved in various school sports; adult
programs designed for learn to swim types or people preparing for triathlons;
and developmental programs designed for children who are just starting their
swimming “adventure”.
All programs are

Gefilte Fish Swim
Club Information: GFSC invites swimmers ages 6
and up to join their developmental and competitive swim club based out of
the Soloway JCC, Brewer, and
Attend the New Swimmer

parent and meet at the SJCC *outdoor* pool (West End of Ottawa at

Full details of our

Tim Horton’s
Hours: The new Athletics Tim
Horton’s is now open 7am-10pm M-F and 8am-3pm (possibly to be extended to 8pm)
on weekends.
Parking Lot 5
Notes: If you have a parking permit
for Parking Lot #5, you must park in the back part of the lot (not in the “pay and display” area).
Parking services started issuing $35 tickets this week to permit holders parked
in the “pay and display” area. I believe that the barricade to the permit
holders part of the lot will be in use shortly. To enter the lot, hold
your parking permit hang tag in front of the card reader. (You do not need
to use your hang tag to exit.) If any of you still have your old (now
obsolete) swipe card, you can get a $10 refund at customer
service.
Date for Carleton
Alumni Diaries: If you swam or played water
polo for Carleton please make note of the “Aquatic Alumni Nite” to be held Sat
Nov 4th. It will run 4-9pm with men’s and women’s water polo
games (4-7pm), plus a swim meet (7-9pm). Please pass this information
along to any alumni you know!
Carleton Swim Suits:
Suits will be available in the
October time-frame.

Time Trial and Relay
Summary:
The information below on most
improved and fastest swimmers is taken from the time trials done during
the summer session, and includes the relay splits from the end of term
relays. Times done in competitions are not included. If
your times are not listed here and you're curious, just e-mail me for
details. (I have all time trial times since May
2001.)
There were 25 women and 23
men who improved in at least one event! Six swimmers improved by at least 7.5sec
per 100m. Most improved overall was Sandra A (VEB) improving by 14.6 sec/100m
(29.2sec) in 200fs. Next was Ana
B (WCA) improving by 12.6 sec/100m (6.3sec) in 50fs. The top
man was Amir (EB1) who improved by
9.8sec in 100fs. He was followed by Ian
L (VEB) and Gi (WCA)
who improved their 100br by 8.7 and 8.3, respectively. Rounding out the
top 3 for the women was Jennifer S
(WCB) who improved her 800fs by 7.5sec/100m (1min exactly).
Congratulations to all who improved, especially those who improved in multiple
events. Special mention to Jim
L (EB1) who improved his 200fs time this term, compared to his time
from a couple of years ago. This is quite remarkable as Jim had a stroke
in January!
The International Point Scores (link
to web page below) are used to determine the best swims. There
were 15 women (11 non-staff/Varsity) and 26 men (16 non-staff/Varsity)
scoring 400 points or above in at least one event. Eight swimmers scored over 600
points. The fastest swim was Steve
K (WCA)’s 50fs of 25.9 or 696 points. Next was Varsity swimmer
Sean D with 679 for his 57.5
100fs. Steve Morris (WCA)
and J-F (Varsity) both did 26.9
for 50fs (638 points). Next was Jamie
S (VEB) with a great 18:31 1500fs for 626 points. Steve N (VEB) did a very impressive 2:27.3
200IM worth 620 points. Ben
D (WCA) earned 605 points for his 1:00.4 100fs. Rounding out
those over 600 was Kelys M (WCA)
with 601 for her 2:29 200fs. The other top women were Melanie (who came to try WCA on the last
day of the session) with an impressive 33.6 50fl (579). Next was Barb P (EB1) with 1:11.8 100fs (534).
Jenna (WCA / pool staff) earned
523 points for a very solid 41.3 50fr, and Laura S (WCA) got 514 points for a 1:12.9
100fs, just ahead of Lisa S (WCA)
who did 1:13.0 for 512 points. Congrats to all who made this exclusive
list!

times for each event are also listed below, as are the results of the

Ask the
Coach
Dear
Coach: What is
in your ear drops? Water in my
Ear
Dear W.i.m.
Ear: My drops are a mixture of mostly rubbing alcohol with a bit of
hydrogen peroxide (vinegar instead of peroxide will work equally well).
The idea is that the alcohol makes any water left in your ears evaporate and the
peroxide/vinegar changes the pH so that nothing will grow (i.e. no
infections). I suggest first buying a bottle of ear drops from the
pharmacy, and then reusing the plastic bottle with your home-made
drops.
Dear
Coach: Why do
you get so annoyed when you give me stroke correction and I tell you that it
doesn’t matter because I was just swimming easy? Curious
Swimmer
Dear C.
Swimmer: The best time to
practice your technique is when you are swimming at a slower speed. You
should never sacrifice your
technique, and especially not on easy
swims.
Dear
Coach: I don’t
think you emphsized enough in just how destructive the S-stroke advice can
be. In swimming slow and inefficiently,
the S-stroke has in fact been very important in swimming!
There can
be no more destructive influence aside from long slow distance
swimming that has destroyed and continues to destroy Canadian
swimmers chances at beating the rest of the world at the Olympics more
than the emphasis of the S-stroke by Canadian coaches and the
lifeguard association.
Ideas on best technique
are here at 2 respected swimming sites.
http://sportsci.org/news/biomech/skeptic.html
".. Rather than swimmers
adducting the arm to produce the "insweep" and then abducting to produce the
"outsweep", as is commonly demonstrated by coaches when instructing on poolside,
the swimmers are actually reducing the curve by abducting in the early part of
the pull and adducting during the latter part of the pull. The fact that
swimmers attempt to straighten the path rather than to use sculling actions is
strong indirect evidence that swimmers rely on drag forces rather than lift
forces. .."
http://www.swimmingcoach.org/articles/JL06132002.asp
"..The idea that world-class
swimmers take the time to fine tune the pitch of the hand, search for still
waters, sweep down, sweep out, sweep in, or sweep up during the propulsive phase
of their strokes is not an accurate description of the stroke.
.."
".. The athlete can envision
and feel the importance of adduction and the power of that movement. It is also
easy to see the futility and ineffective nature of S curves and sweeping actions
that use the smaller muscles of the arm and forearm to accomplish the task. A
sweep or S curve stroke is not an effective way."

examples:
