As of June 1st 2013, civilians with recreation facility memberships at CFB Borden are no longer permitted to swim in either the early morning or noon sessions.
Over the last seven years, I’ve trained most days of the week during the noon swim (originally two hours 11:30-13:30 – more recently reduced to 1.5 hours 11:30-13:00) as well as BEAST / CF Swim Team morning sessions.
I’ve done my part to support and promote CF Swimming on base by either helping to or completely running the program. I’ve benefitted greatly by having the CF members to train with as well as years of excellent coaching by Major Cathie Bass (Ret). The benefits go both ways.
Now, I have no place to train. My membership is of no value.
CF members will neither have people to train with nor an organized program in which to train in the CF National Sport of Swimming. The pool will be greatly underutilized. The revenue stream from civilian memberships will disappear.
Why was such a negative change approved?
Feel free to comment.
And, if you are CF and have benefited from the previous inclusion of civilians in swim training – please voice your concerns through your Chain of Command.
Hosted by the Nepean Masters Swim Club at the Nepean Sportsplex.

The 4-week cycle consists again of 2 weeks of sprint focus and then 2 weeks with a bit more emphasis on endurance.

(so the 1.0hr CF sessions are a total waste of time … not that it is any of my business)

According to the published “PSP Fitness and Sports Christmas and New Years Schedule 2012-2013”, today Wed 2-Jan-2013 had Lane Swim 1100-1300. Unfortunately, the staff’s schedule had guards starting at 1130 … so we had the pleasure of standing in the showers for 25 minutes before the staff stepped in and got the pool open.
With Monday’s session missed due to the Borden pool failing to open due to insuffient staff, the plan for this week is to swim Monday’s workout on WED, Wednesday’s workout on THURS and Friday’s work on FRI. So here’s Monday’s missed session repeated:

Main Set:
Here’s a shot of the Southport race pool – there is also a dive tank and 25m pool.
Results are posted on the Masters Swimming Queensland web site.
Medal count at the end of Day 2 – Two Silver with another 2nd in 50 BK.
The day at Southport on the Gold Coast – Queensland Australia started with a warm-up from 8:00 to 8:45. Racing started at 9:00am with four 400m events using “Rolling Starts” – so basically individual time trials. The first heat sets off all together. As soon as the first swimmer is done a swimmer from the next heat is set off in that lane. That process just continues with starts and finishes just rolling along.
100m Backstroke – Event 5 started just before 1pm
Heat 13 of 14 was my start.
North York Trillium Masters swimmer Peter Straka was kind enough to grab my splits:
36.8 out – which was far too fast for this point of the season
Back in 44.2 for a 1:21.02 LCM … good enough for 2nd place Men 45-49
200m Individual Medley – Event 6
Heat 10 of 14 was my start with Queenslander Leanne in the lane beside (as in 100BK in 2006)
A much more controlled and less painful race than the 100BK
Final results aren’t up yet, but a time of 3;06 was good.
Pan Pacific Masters Games Competition Pool – Southport

Ocean Swim at Maroochydore Beach
Strong SE wind, with a longshore rip South to North – messy chop and waves.
Bloody cold – even with a thin farmer-john Tri wetsuit on.
Ocean Temp was recorded at 22C or 71.5F … kind of cold compared to
the overly hot Borden pool temp of at least 83F.
The cold wind made things worse.
Only did 15 minutes:
Mild hypothermia after – pool session for tomorrow
Full wet suit for the planned Noosa Beach swim Wed.

One option for swimming is the East Bayfield Pool
There are other pools in Barrie – Holly C.C. and Allandale R.C. – but I have only ever used East Bayfield when needed. The early morning 6:00am to 8:30am weekday sessions have 3 double width lanes allocated to lane swimming. After that it is reduced to 2 double lanes. Weekend times for lane swimming are mid-afternoon. Click on the schedule in the link above.
Single swim cost is currently $5.38.
10 Swims are $51.19
3 Months is $128
1 Year is $374
NO 6-7am training session for the ‘coach’ or civilian swimmers

400 and 200 Time Trials are for calculating
Critical Swim Speed (CSS)
CSS (m/sec) = (400m – 200m) / (Time400 – Time 200 in sec)
CSS=200/(356-164)
CSS=200/192
CSS=1.04 m/sec
CSS in sec/100m = 100 / CSS m/sec
CSS sec/100m = 100 / 1.04
CSS = 96 sec/100m
or CSS = 1:36 / 100m
Seems kind of slow … but the theory is that training at that speed will improve CSS.
CSS sets would be like 20 x 100m on 15 sec rest or 10 x 200 on 20 sec or 5 x 400 on 30 sec.
1500m Race Pace should equal CSS.

With the indoor pool racing season over, today was the kick-off to the Summer distance training season which will run until the pool closes for maintenance in early August. (Date to be specified)
The program will be suitable for all swimmers and will focus on Freestyle for longer events (i.e. open water racing – 750m, 1000m, 1500m and 2000m). Although geared towards Freestyle swimming, the program will still have an Individual Medley component to save our shoulders and provide additional load. There will also be kick sets.
Four main training speeds will be used during the Summer Session:
It is your responsibility to figure out these basic speeds. They vary based on distance swum – i.e. your EN-2 speed for a 50 will be faster than EN-2 for a 200. Try to dial in the FS speeds asap. The other strokes will mostly be Recov and EN-1. (although Fly rarely feels less than EN-2)
Just as a generic example, last year, my speeds for the zones and 100m repeats were:
Pacing provided in the workouts will generally be for the fastest swimmers. (i.e. 1:45 for repeating 100m FS when swimming about 1:30). For the most part, it is going to be better for slower swimmers to cut distance and stay on the provided pacing (i.e. we all swim together). That way everyone will be working for the same duration – the distance isn’t as important. There are some sets that work well for just doing a few less repeats and finishing at the same time. For example, if the set is 5 x 100m FS on 1:45, it works well to swim at a slower pace, hold that pace and just do 4 x 100 or 3 x 100m in the same total time.
Starting today we shifted to the shallow end of the pool as ‘home base’. The main reason for that change is so that you can all closely watch the pace clock on the side wall at the shallow end either as you come into the wall or when swimming away. Proper pacing is a big challenge and having the feedback from the clock is invaluable. Always watch the clock at all distances! For instance, if you are swimming a 200m and you want to negative split it at the 100m mark and you are about a 45sec 50m FS swimmer – watch to see 45s on the first 50m, 1:30 on the 2nd 50m, and to negative split, 2:13 (43s) on the 3rd 50m and 2:56 (43s) on the 4th 50m. If you are asked to swim 4 x 50m FS descend 1-4 (by at least 1 sec each), watch the clock to see you are swimming 45s, 44s, 43s, 42s.
Time is tight for many of you. Please try to get in as soon as the door opens and start your warm-up. My talking and set descriptions will be kept to a minimum so that we can get as much in before swimmers have to start leaving. As we have the pool to 7:30 each morning, there will be additional sets available for anyone that can stay.
When it is time for you to leave the sessions, be sure to stop the current set in time to swim down for at least 200m. It is counter-productive to come to a sudden dead stop and not flush.
Since there is little time to talk, please ask general question after the workout – or use this blog or email to post questions.

Media Release by USM Events for the race results:
O’Brien claims victory over reigning champion
Gorman reclaims title
Gold Coast’s George O’Brien scored a surprise win over swim king Ky Hurst at the Eyeline 1000 Noosa Ocean Swim today, while Melissa Gorman re-claimed her title in the famous annual event.
The race, which regularly attracts the biggest names in the sport, will be one to remember for George, who rated the win as one of the best in his career to date.
“I have never beat Ky in a race like this so it’s a good feeling,” O’Brien said.
O’Brien established a clear lead early in the race, leading the tight male pack at the half way mark ahead of Ridge & Codie Grimsey. He continued to extend his lead in the second half of the race to finish ahead of Sam Sheppard of Ringwood VIC and Codie Grimsey of Cashmere who finished second and third respectively.
O’Brien, who trains under Dennis Cotteral in Miami, won bronze in the 10km Australian 2010 Open Water Swimming Championships to gain selection into the pan-pacific team.
“I didn’t have the best start but picked up pretty quickly. It was then good to be in front because you can keep an eye on the guys behind,” O’Brien said.
Australian long distance swimmer, Melissa Gorman, was fierce competition in the female field.
Gorman, who won the event in 2009 dominated the womens field taking the lead early and maintaining a steady stroke to finish ahead of the Sunshine Coast Sarah Kime and 2010 champion Danielle Defrancesco.
Gorman will now focus her efforts on competing for Australia at the 2012 London Olympics.
“Having being already selected for the Olympics it’s a really good feeling. I am really looking forward to next year. I am going to head over to New Zealand to compete in a few events like this one as the waters are a bit colder over there however it’s still close to home.
“Depending on my training schedule I will see how many other events like these I can do around the country but obviously I can’t miss too many as it starts to even out,” Gorman said.
Ky Hurst, who held the title for 8 consecutive years placed 4th in the event.
“I felt good, it was hard. There were a lot of great swimmers today. That’s what we want to see, good pool swimmers and good open water swimmers all at once, that’s why the pace was so quick.
“I’ve been coming here for a very long time and I can always come back next year. Now I’ve got something to work towards.
“We had perfect conditions, it was really flat and it suited every single person, we couldn’t have asked for anything more, and the calibre of swimmers here – it was just fantastic,” Hurst said.
Ironman world champion, Chris McCormack, competed in the mates-wave of the event as a good hit out before racing in Sunday’s pinnacle event of the festival, the renowned Noosa Triathlon.
“I think the girls beat us. We do these swim races all over the country so for us it’s a bit of fun.
“I beat my mate by about 40 seconds so I can just gloat about that for the next year,” McCormack said.
Prior to the elite component a massive field of just over 1200 competed in today’s ocean swim event.
Tomorrow is Super Saturday at the Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival 2011. Some of the highlights of tomorrow’s program include The Courier Mail Noosa Superkidz triathlon, The Tingiarana The Legends Triathlon, the Subaru Noosa Cycling Grand Prix and the Asics Bolt.
The highlight of the weekend is the Noosa Triathlon on Sunday, which has attracted over 8000 triathletes.
A full set of results will be posted on www.noosatri.com.au.
The Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival is supported by the Queensland Government through Events Queensland as part of a record investment in major events supporting regions all over Queensland, including the Sunshine Coast.

Weights
Aerobic Technique / Fins Session
As our numbers start picking up we are going to come to the point of swimming circles in lanes. Swimming circles will keep us ‘honest’ for sure and it is key that the circling lanes have swimmers with very similar speeds. One thing to remember … if two adjacent lanes are swimming circles, they must be in opposite directions. That will minimize the risk of arm collisions over the middle lane rope.
For those doing weights since Week 1 you can start shifting to 2 sets of 10 reps … with the reps being slow and iso-kinetic … i.e. work against the weight in both directions at a slow even speed.

It should be stressed that at this point in the season there is plenty of volume in our three swim sessions and that other aerobic activity should take place on the off days. Also, keep weights at endurance level – 30 reps with 2-3 sets.

Aerobic Oxygen Delivery Session
Bring your fins for this Saturday’s session!
At this point in the season, the focus is on stroke technique. Get them all dialed in now and they will be second nature when we start adding speed and intensity in the winter. Swim easy enough to get it right and make every stroke count. Make adjustments! If doing weights, keep the weight low and reps high (like 30).
Cathy Bass Words of Wisdom: Recommendation for this phase of the season is that we get at least 30-60 minutes of aerobic exercise each day. This is the only phase of our season where cross training is of benefit. So try to get in some biking, running, eliptical, etc … on the off days.

Words of Wisdom from Cathie: Importance of getting in a decent warm-up before we start the work sets. And at this time of the season, the warm-up contains a good portion of our volume and should be used to fine tune the strokes. Don’t waste any of your lengths as garbage yardage … always focus on some aspect of the stroke technique.

First session of the 2010-2011 season.
Important – take Note:
This is a new season, so treat it as such. A slow start makes a good finish. ie Don’t pound yourself and get sick. Sleep well, eat better! Try NOT to kill yourself on off swim days and not be able to swim our workouts as planned.
Technique ALWAYS wins! We will be focusing on technique during our Fall Aerobic build-up. Forget about speed at this point of the season and you will get fast. Set some goals for yourself and work all season to achieve them. Work to master at least one more stroke.
Weight training is ideally done on the same day as the swim in order to recover on off days. Weights should start this week and follow our swim pattern as ALL other training. Weights should be LIGHT and Many repeats. Start with light weights, 20 reps * 3 sets. This will allow your tendons to catch up to the muscle strength and get the endurance that we will be building on in the pool.
