2024-2025 Carleton Ravens Swim Team General Information

Nico Belisle, ROC Swimming, is our head coach.

The training schedule is below. Note that you are expected to attend at least five swim workouts per week. (If your course schedule does not permit this, we can provide workouts that can be done during Carleton's lane swims.)

Equipment to bring to the pool:

• water bottle: You may wish to bring a larger bottle with water, and a secondary bottle with some sports drink, especially if you have a hard time eating before practice.
• pull buoy
• paddles
• ankle band
• fins: Coach Nico recommends two pairs:one small blade pair for longer training sets, and one larger/power set for sprints. If you only have a budget for one pair, the small blade pair is more important!
  • Small Blade Examples: Speedo - Switchblade, TYR - Burner / Crossblade / Stryker, Arena - Powerfin (not PRO), Finis - Zoomers / Positive Drive Fins
  • Power Examples: TYR - Hydroblade, Arena - Powerfin PRO (1 or 2), Finis - Edge

The competition schedule is posted below.

There is a fee of $1200 to join the team for the season (September to April). Swimmers are encouraged to apply for bursaries to offset the cost. Details below (under "Paperwork and Forms").

The first $200 payment is due on or before Friday September 20. You may pay by cash, cheque, or e-transfer payable to Lynn.Marshall@carleton.ca.

We will contact everyone who made the team on Friday September 13. To be eligible to compete in our first competition on Saturday October 5, you need to complete *all* of the following by Friday September 20:

• Everyone: Pay $200 (as per the above)
• Everyone: Register with and complete *all* parts of: Ravens Athlete Registration System (link below)

• New Swimmers: Send Lynn an email or FB message indicating whether or not you have been previously registered with Swim Canada.
  • If so, I need: name that you are registered with, date of birth, email address of the associated account (for many of you this will be a parent's email), and, if known, your Swim Canada registration number.
  • If not, I need your preferred name (for registration) and your date of birth.

2024-2025 Workout Schedule

Workouts will start Wednesday September 4. The first ten days will be open tryouts. Everyone should attend as many tryout workouts as possible. Please attend workout, even if you need to leave early (or arrive late) due to classes. The team will be selected from all those who attend the tryouts. Swimmers are selected as general team members (i.e. not selected for specific events.)

Once the team is selected, swimmers are expected to attend at least five swim workouts per week. For those with conflicts with classes, alternate arrangements can be made.
