    THIS WEEK'S UPDATES


    Regent Park Pool Update

    Last Friday, we had a very unfortunate incident towards the end of the practice. Most of the swimmers in attendance experienced noticeable short of breath, coughing and even chemical burn. In addition, the handling of the situation by the person in charge that evening was rude, irresponsible and unprofessional.

    Our coach informed the DSC executive as soon as it happened and we took immediate action. With the help of several of our most affected members, we collected the information we needed to inform the Aquatic Supervisors at Regent Park Aquatic Centre and City of Toronto Parks and Recreation. Toronto Public Health was also informed. The agencies involved are taking the matter very seriously and a full investigation is in effect, that includes determining the product used, appropriate chlorine levels and pool maintenance protocol. The ventilation system of the pool will also be audited. The person in charge on Friday evenings has been suspended. The City’s Park and Recreation department will follow up with us when their investigation on the matter is complete.

    Regent Park has expressed great concern about our club’s well-being, comfort and enjoyment. In efforts to leave this unpleasant experience behind, the pool supervisor has been very gracious and generous in offering us access to the whole facility this Friday. So, mark your calendars for another FUN/SURPRISE workout with our coach Alex! Make sure to attend!!

    Live Tweets during ALL OUT SWIM
    Saturday, April 20th              2013

    Tweet your thoughts on Saturday

    with the hashtag #alloutswim2013


    WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY & HOW FOR ALL OUT SWIM


    WHO
    We are DSC!! This is our meet, it is our time to SHINE! Let's show them how it's done, in and out of the water. Bring your team spirit and don't be afraid to show it. Cheer on your team mates, wear your DSC suit, shirts, jackets and caps and swim hard!

    WHAT to bring

    • 2 swimsuits - one for warmup and one for racing
    • 2 pairs of goggels - just in case
    • your DSC swim cap - represent baby! there wil be caps for sale - $10
    • 2 or 3 towels - you will be in and out of the water and will want a dry towel at the end of the day
    • flip flops or shoes - the deck and change room floors get gross
    • warm clothes - it gets cold on deck and you want your muscles warm for racing
    • a lock - this will help reduce the amount of stuff on deck
    • snacks - there will be food available but you might want to bring your favourite treats, think easy to eat and digest
    • water bottle - it is a long day, stay hydrated!

    WHEN
    Please, please arrive at 10am, there will be lots of set up and many hands make light work!

    WHERE
    U of T, duh! Use the spadina change rooms only (our usual change rooms), once on deck we will gather on the bleachers as a team!

    WHY
    Because we love to swim!


    HOW to warmup

    • Warmup can be slightly overwhelming - imagine 270 swimmers at a practice! Yikes!
    • Proper lane ettiquette still applies (sort of)
    • DON'T dive - except in specific sprint lanes, which usually open up near the end of the warm up
    • Try not to block the wall - you will get flipped on, NOT FUN - squeeze close to the lane rope - if you need a longer break (or to chat with a friend) get out on deck
    • Be aware of other swimmers, but try to focus on your own warmup!
    • Do what YOUR body feels - here are some sample warmups

    Sample warmup 1
    300-600 mix easy swim/drill/DPS/kick
    3-6 x 100 descend - work the turns
    6-8 x 50 build
    1 or 2 dives with fast breakout
    100-200 easy

    Sample warmup 2
    200 Choice
    4-8 x 50 IM or choice (25 kick + 25 drill)
    3 x 50 Build within
    100 easy swim
    200 Quality - 10m sprints in different spots <practice the turns etc>
    100 easy swim
    1 or 2 dives with fast breakouts
    1-3 x 25 sprint off the block
    100 - 200 easy

    Sample warmup 3
    200 choice
    4 x 50 drill
    3 x 100 (50 build to sprint, 50 easy swim)
    100 - 30 easy 10m sprint
    *long distance swimmers- 3 x 50 (50%, 70%, 90%)
    3 x 100 (25 sprint + 75 easy)
    100 easy


    Cheers - see you in the pool!!! Luci

    THIS WEEK'S UPDATES


    Crowded Swim Practices

    With 141 swimmers and counting, we are very pleased with our current membership levels! One of the challenges we are currently facing is how to maintain a comfortable attendance number on each practice with an even distribution of participants on each lane.

    The executive is actively considering several options. Shortly, we will be sending out a survey to all members to help us determine the most effective ways of maintaining and improving the quality of swim practices. We hope that you will participate in the survey.

    Thank you Mikel Rotaeche Co-Chair 2013

    TORONTO PERFORMANCES & BOOK LAUNCH CELEBRATION

    In celebration of the publication of her new book, Alison Wearing will be giving two Toronto performances of Confessions of a Fairy's Daughter: the one-woman show.


    SYNOPSIS
    Confessions of a Fairy's Daughter is both a memoir (forthcoming with Alfred A. Knopf, May 2013) and an award-winning one-woman show. Like the book, the Confessions of a Fairy’s Daughter stage show tells Alison Wearing’s true story of growing up with a gay father in the 1980s.

    Artfully woven through music and imagery, the multimedia monologue moves from Alison’s carefree childhood to the moment she learned, at age twelve, that her family was a tad more complex than she had thought. The ensuing eight years were a time of confusion and disbelief, puff pastry and opera, bath house raids, scandal and celebration. Balancing intimacy, history and downright hilarity, Confessions of a Fairy’s Daughter is a captivating tale of family life: deliciously imperfect, riotously challenging, and full of life’s great lessons in love.

    "With abounding humour and positive stage energy, Alison Wearing recalls, chapter by chapter, what it meant discovering that her father was gay... a loveable, daring, heartfelt performance." View Magazine

    Advance reviews of the memoir:

    "Confessions of a Fairy's Daughter had me in tears: first of laughter, then of sadness, then of wonder at life's strange and marvelous fragility. It is a book both beautiful and true; about the longing for family and for home. Alison Wearing is a hugely talented writer."
    -- Alison Pick, author of Man Booker prize-nominated Far To Go

    “...exquisitely written and deeply compassionate...intimate yet revealing, heartbreaking yet joyous...for everyone who chooses to live (and love) openly and freely."
    -- Kamal al-Solaylee, author of Intolerable: A Memoir of Extremes and National Theatre Critic for The Globe and Mail

    ADVANCE TICKETS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

    Saturday, June 15 - 8pm & Sunday, June 16 - 2pm

    Arts & Letters Club, 14 Elm Street, Toronto

    Tickets: $20

    Books will be available for purchase following the performances.
     The Club bar will be open following the Saturday evening performance. Celebration and gaiety are thoroughly encouraged.

    For more information, including photos, video and reviews, please visit: www.alisonwearing.com

     


    Next weekend!  April 20th, 2013 - U of T Athletic Ctr. - Come out & set a record!!

    JSRC Water Temperature

    Efforts to reduce the water temperatures continue every week.  We are getting closer to the cooler temperatures that we would like to have.  However, please make sure to take precautions by remaining aware of your own heat sensitivity threshold and bring your water bottle for your workouts.

    THURSDAY March 28th:  FUN practice with a special surprise element.  DON’T MISS IT!!


    SHOWERS and CHANGE STALLS:  As usual, we will have access to only ONE changing room when we arrive to practice.  However, we have made arrangements to have access to BOTH changing and shower areas at the end of our workouts to reduce waiting lines, both Thursdays and Fridays 




    Balls & Sausage - a night of fancy hot dogs and table tennis!

    Tonight! Saturday, March 23!!!

    After practice we'll meet at WVRST, where you can choose from over 20 types of sausage and a good selection of draft beer.  Non-meat eaters do not fret, there are vegetarian options.

    From there we will head over to SPiN for 8pm to play some table tennis (aka ping pong) until 10pm.  It's a licenced establishment with music.  Munchies are available to order as well.

    There's a fee to reserve the table.  So the more who come, the cheaper it will be!  An RSVP is appreciated.

    A Message from our All OUT Swim Volunteer Coordinator:

    My name is Chim, I swim on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and I'm the current volunteer coordinator for All OUT Swim 2013, swimming competition sanctioned by Master Swimming of Ontario and Downtown Swimming Club - http://dsctoronto.ca.

    Our meet is on April 20, 2013 (Saturday). It's going to happen in less than a month and we are still short of volunteers. We need seventy and we are in the twenty-ish. We need people to be our timers, stroke and turn judges, helpers to setup and set down the place, etc.

    To join as a volunteer, it is as simple as visiting our site goo.gl/XetnR and register.

    I also encourage you to compete. You can checkout how the process is at http://dsctoronto.ca. For example, even though I'm not a fast swimmer and I have never competed in any master before, I told myself to swim the 800m and 400m FREE and 200m BREAST to see how far I can go. Challenge yourself too!

    Feel free to reach me for more information by email designium@gmail.com.
