Holiday Training
We in the swimming community live on
a different schedule compared to most athletes. We are accustomed to morning workouts and weekend meets. We also maintain our training at times when
other sports have an off-season and take breaks. One time when this is more apparent is during the winter
holidays.
Due to the timing of our Short
Course Championship season it is very important to train through the winter
holidays. It is the mid-point of our
season and a time when elite caliber swimmers are switching from aerobic training
to more race specific work. It is the
last big aerobic push of the season before racing and resting become the
focus. A lot of college and
universities take their teams to places like Hawaii and Florida to train in
excellent weather while increasing the workload. I recall a few trips of my own that not only prepared me for my
meets at the time but also gave me memories that remind me how unique our sport
can be at times.
While at UNVL we went to Southern California and
trained at Coronado before heading up the coast to Irvine and Santa Barbara for
meets and more training. I remember one
morning after starting the workout in the dark at the pool in Coronado how
pretty the sun looked coming over San Diego.
In the middle of a kick set a huge US Navy battle ship pulled into the
bay under the bridge. All of us in the
sprint and breaststroke group stopped and watched as this huge ship went into
the docks. I thought it was really
special to be a swimmer right then just to see that sight.
While on DMSF during my high school
days we went to Rochester, MN the day after Christmas my junior year. We actually went somewhere colder! We did so because the local club in
Rochester had access to the whole 50 Meter pool whenever they wanted the whole
break. There was a group of about 15 of
us from both DMSF and CRAA and we trained twice daily for 7 days straight. I roomed with one other swimmer and our
head-coach Bill. I was worried it would
be weird hanging out with my coach but it turned out being a lot of fun. I talked with Bill about swimming history,
training, technique, and learned a bunch about the sport in the process. Since I had not been a swimmer for very long
it was something that really helped me and was as valuable as the intense
training I did in the pool that trip.
Bill really opened my eyes to how the sport works and planted the seeds
of my coaching career.
The next year we went to Arizona for
our Christmas training. By that time I
did not mind at all rooming with Coach Bill and I knew what to expect with the
training. One aspect of that trip I
recall is how we got to the pool one morning, the desert air still dark and
cold, and started to strip down to get in.
I remember the steam rolling off the pool and watching everyone run as
fast as they could out of our parkas and into the pool. It was the only time I had ever seen all the
swimmers run to warm-up at the same time.
I also remember watching the swimmers from the University of Arizona
train at the same pool before and after us.
They were not only very graceful but also very strong. Each lane was doing something different but
kept on task. One female butterfly
swimmer was training with a group of the male swimmers and on a few sets
outdoing them. One year later that
swimmer, Chrissy Ahman-Leighton, would make the Olympic team and win three
medals at Barcelona.
During the Thanksgiving Break one
year I had the pleasure (pain) of training with the Kansas City Blazers while
visiting my relatives in Overland Park, KS.
I went to practice the day after Thanksgiving and trained with Head
Coach Pete Malone’s group. A few lanes
over from where I was swimming was a short, muscular, and tanned guy doing an
outrageous amount of butterfly. He had
purple scars up his side on his ribs from recent surgery. He was no taller than me but was just going
nuts on every set. On sets that I was
doing 8 x 200 freestyles on 2:30 negative split this dude was keeping up doing
most of it fly! The group I was
training with finished and as I went to the locker room this guy and three
others continued on with practice. In
the locker room I asked my cousin’s neighbor, who had drove us to the workout,
who was in that lane swimming fly the whole time. I found out it was Mark Dean, a 1988 Olympian, 1991 Pan American
gold-medallist in the 200 Fly, and a former UCLA swimmer, who had a collapsed
lung a year before and was on a comeback for the 1992 Olympic Trails. Also in the pool that day were two future US
Olympians, Janie Wagstaff (92) and Catherine Fox (96), swimming in the “animal
lanes” with Mark Dean. While I was
drained from the workout that morning and I eventually fell asleep by 4p.m.
that night I remember thinking how cool it was to have been in the same pool with
such a talented group of swimmers. I
was very proud I completed that workout without missing an interval. I was also very proud to know I had burned
off all the calories from the day before.
While you may not have the chance to
train in sunny weather, room with your coach for a week, or watch firsthand as
some internationally ranked athletes practice you do have the chance to swim
with some other teams, meet new swimmers, and build your own memories. If you are planning on traveling over the
break check out if there are teams in the area you are going to visit. Most USA-S clubs will let any registered
USA-S swimmers train with their clubs for little or no charge. If there is not a club in your destination I
have a book on places to swim all over the country and can direct you to a recreation
center, a YMCA (which often have teams to swim with), or schools with pools so
you can keep your training up. Don’t hesitate to ask for workouts to take with
you from an ICE coach if you need one.
Whatever the case, enjoy the holidays, have fun with your families, and
keep in shape so you don’t have to make any New Year’s resolutions concerning
swimming.
See
you in 2002!

Irving
B. Weber Invitational wrap-up: It was hectic and a bit
crazy at times, but the 2001 Weber Meet was reasonably successful. We ended up with about 370 swimmers and that
number alone guaranteed a busy weekend for all who volunteered. From the little
guys running refreshments out to the deck to the people manning the timing
equipment and especially to the other unseen but necessary support folks, a
hearty congratulations and thank you is in order. The success of any swim meet is tied directly to the level of
support provided by the club’s membership and for this meet we all did a pretty
good job of helping our swimmers and each other out.
We
did run out of participation awards for our own swimmers but have no fear- a
new order will be placed. These
highlighters will sport a different design and should be available before the
end of the month. We will have extras
so anyone wishing to purchase an additional highlighter or two will be able to
do so.
ISI
Postal Meet: All of the details about the
upcoming Postal Meet are not yet known but following is a brief
description. The meet will be run on
Saturday December 29th. It
will be organized as a fun meet- shorter distances, mixed relays etc. Entry fees will be modest and awards will be
given to the top three swimmers in each age for each event as tallied on a
statewide basis. After the meet, a
luncheon in the Procter and Gamble room may follow. To do this we first need a count on the number of swimmers who
want to participate. Next, parents will
need to help with timing, etc. because the times will count and this will
operate as a regular meet in that regard.
Therefore, if the interest and support are there, ICE will have a Postal
Meet the last Saturday of December.
Please contact Kelly at 339-7579 or e-mail keleyn@inav.net to sign-up to swim or to volunteer to help out. More details will follow as they become
available.
Officials’
Orientation: Interested in becoming a
swimming official? If we can get enough
interested individuals (five) then an Officials’ orientation can be
scheduled. This takes about two hours
and consists of watching the US Swimming video on officiating, a brief talk
about officiating in Iowa, and a question and answer session followed by a
chance to get started on the necessary take home exam. After passing the exam you are required to
shadow other officials during four different swim meet sessions. Once you’ve cleared these obstacles you too
can carry a clipboard and write DQs! Seriously
though, the club and the sport need more officials. As of now the burden of officiating tends to fall to a handful of
parents and friends of the sport. If
you’ve ever even briefly considered becoming an official please contact Kelly
at 339-7579 or e-mail at keleyn@inav.net to add your name to the list for
orientation.
New
Eels website: Now that the Weber Meet is
over, work can continue on the new Eels website. It will not be flashy but it will be functional and you will be
able to help. To be included in the
site will be pictures- action shots, funny kid shots, maybe even snapshots of
swimmers with a brief biography. If you
have some pictures you would like to submit, keep them close at hand, we may be
able to use them quite soon. More details
to follow as progress on the launch date occurs.

From
friends in California: Former Eels members Ellyn,
Koren, and Michelle Schroeder are living in Bonita California and swimming with
South Bay Aquatics. It sounds like a
totally different swim environment- the meets and practices are mostly outdoors
and Ellyn goes to meets where there are 140 other swimmers in some freestyle
events! Donna and the kids would love
to hear from any and all of their old Eels pals and they can be reached at:
3920 Rock River Lane Bonita, CA 91902 or via e-mail at schroe5@home.com. Do consider writing
these former club members!
