can't be done with less than full commitment. A chasm cannot be leaped in two 
small jumps and a dive cannot be made a little at a time. Sometimes you just 
have to DO IT." – Steve Goodier

Notes:
   
Leona Crabb (x-7:30am Earlybirds) recently wont 
the top female athlete award for her basic training, partly due to her 
swimming!  Congrats, Leona!
   Sinisa Catic (Whitecaps “B”) swam 2000m on 
Sat Mar 31st for Cancer Research and plans to participate in the 
Arthritis Big Swim, too.  Great causes!
   Coach Lynn was recognized as a runner up (i.e. 
top 10 women) in the Top World Masters list for 2006 in the April 2007 Swimmers 
World Magazine (http://www.swimmersworldmagazine.com).  
   Coach Mits Kachi’s wife, Tanya Parent-Kachi, is 
shaving her head for Cancer Research.  Contribute at: http://www.evite.com/pages/invite/viewInvite.jsp?inviteId=TZQSGGRODKVWKAJAEUEA&li=iq&src=email&trk=aei2.
Big Swim for 
Arthritis: Several Carleton swimmers 
participated in this April fundraiser last year.  Full details for this 
year are at: http://www.bigswim.ca/.  Vincent Richer from Technosport (who last 
year swam 10k per day [in two 5k sessions] for 4 days and raised $4000 for his 
40km effort) this year plans to swim 100km over 10 days!  See his web site 
at: http://www3.sympatico.ca/vricher/.  
However, you don’t have to be that crazy!!  Participants can swim 
individual 30 minutes, 1000m, 2500m or 5000m swims, or swim on their 
own by registering to the Log Your Laps challenge. The Log Your Laps challenge 
is the most flexible of the challenges because it allows 
participants to complete a challenge at their convenience using local 
pool facilities of their choice. There is also a team 5000m 
challenge and a one hour aqua-fit challenge. A registration fee of $25 is 
collected in order to participate in an event, but if you chose to 
raise funds and successfully raise $75 or more, your registration fee is 
waived.  Margaret K (8:30am 
Earlybirds) plans to participate, as does Sinisa (Whitecaps “B”).  Anyone 
else?

Time Trial and Relay 
Summary:
The information below on most 
improved and fastest swimmers is taken from the time trials done during 
the winter session, and includes the relay splits from the end of term 
relays (except for the Whitecaps “A” inner tube relay!).  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 40 women and 28 
men who improved in at least one event!  Six swimmers improved by more than 
10sec per 100m.  Most improved was Gi 
(WCA) who improved by 13.3 seconds in his 100fs.  Francois J (EB1) improved his 200fs by 
24.7sec (12.4sec/100m).  Next was Ursula (VEB) who improved her 1500fs by 
nearly 3min (11.7sec/100m), followed by Debbie L (EB1) with a 5.7sec improvement in 
50bk (11.4sec/100m).  Rounding out the top 6 were Carmel (EB1) who improved her 200bk by 
20.4sec and Ian L (VEB) improved 
by just over 2.5min in his 1500fs (both 10.2sec/100m).  
 
The International Point Scores (link 
to web page below) are used to determine the best swims.  There 
were 18 women and 19 men scoring 400 points or above in at least one 
event.  Two swimmers scored over 700 points:  Melanie P (WCA) with 706 in and Steve K (WCA) with 702 both in 50fs.  
Another 7 swimmers scored over 600 points: Blair C (WCA) scored 672 and Jamie (VEB) 637, both in 1500fs.  
Jonathan M (WCA) scored 627 and 
Kelys M (WCA) 625, both in 
50fs.  Don W (WCA) was next 
with 611 in 400IM, followed by 
 
The top 3 improvements and the top 3 
times for each event are also listed below, as are the results of the 
relays.  Thanks to all who participated!

Sat Mar 
31st 
I don’t yet have the official 
results for this meet.  However, I can report that the highlight of the 
meet was that Kelys M (Whitecaps 
“A”) won a bottle of wine.  (I hear that wine also played a role in the 
Friday evening preparation for the meet.)
Ask the 
Coach 
Summary of 
shutdown information, with added information on the 
B-Train Masters (thanks, 
Carleton Pool: closed Apr 
7th-May 6th (re-opens Mon May 
7th)
Carleton Weight Room: closed Apr 
30th-May 6th (re-opens May 
7th)
Where to 
swim?:
1. You can train at another pool 
during their public / adult swimming hours.  Here are a few 
links:
   http://ottawa.ca/residents/parks_recreation/swimming/schedules/index_en.html 
Champagne Pool 
Drop In Masters:
   Some swims at 
   To end of April; note 
that the pool is closed Apr 
6-9th: http://www.geegees.ca/assets/geegeereg/swimming/Simming_fall_2006.pdf; 
May: start at: http://www.geegees.uottawa.ca/en/index.asp?lang=EN; 
click on Activities at the left; and then the updated schedule should be 
available at the right (not yet 
there!)
2. There is a 
new Masters team that trains at the 
JCC (west end) and 
Andy Jones is one of the coaches.  
This team has 
limited space on Mon/Wed 8-9pm; Mon/Wed 9-10pm; and Mon/Wed/Fri 
noon-1:30pm.  Price for the month would likely be $30-40.  Contact 
Andy at jonesieaj@yahoo.com for more 
information.
3. You can 
train with another Masters team.  
List of All Registered Masters Clubs 
in 
http://www.mastersswimmingontario.ca/clubs/ottawa.htm 
4. B-Train Masters swim out of 
Brewer pool and offer drop-ins at $8 per workout (3 for 
$20):
            
Mon 7-8:30pm; Tue 7-8am; Tue 1:30-2:30pm; Thu 7-8am; Thu 
1:30-2:30pm
            
For more info: http://www.btrainswimming.com or 
e-mail coach Andrea andrea@btrainswimming.com. 
Dear 
Coach:  I contacted a Masters team 
where a friend trains to see if I can train with them during the shutdown and 
they asked for my MSO number.  What is this?  I Don’t 
Compete
Dear I.D. Compete:  Many 
Masters clubs get their workout insurance through Masters Swimming Ontario 
(MSO).  As Carleton Masters is run as a program of the University, we are 
covered under Carleton’s insurance.  Thus, generally, Carleton Masters 
swimmers only get an MSO number (details under competitions above) if they plan 
to compete.  Unless you compete, you probably don’t have an MSO number 
right now.  However, you can get one (it takes about a week, 
minimum).
Dear 
Coach:  What is drafting in 
swimming?  (You told us not to do this during our 1500 time trial.)  
New Swimmer
Dear N. Swimmer:  If you swim 
within about 5 seconds of the swimmer in front of you, you will be able to swim 
faster than can on your own.  This effect is called “drafting” and applies 
to many other forms of motion (e.g. cycling, driving, etc.).  While 
drafting is legal in triathlons, it is not permitted in FINA sanctioned races 
and as we try to get fair times in the 1500, drafting should be avoided.  
If you catch up to someone, pass!
