Civilians Ousted from Morning and Noon Swim sessions at CFB Borden

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.

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:

Pan Pacific Masters Games – Day 1

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.
