Looking for some motivation to log more swimming in the winter months? Search no further – how about building up to a small challenge, surrounded by like-minded friends 🙂
Please note this is an informal event, not an official one. Just some friends getting together for some hard laps. The pool is not rented.
GOAL:
As many 100’s as you can handle on a fixed send-off time without warmup or any breaks.
Base goal is 50×100. Keep going if you can. Go for a Personal Best!
WHEN:
Sunday February 25th 2024, WIATC, 7:00 am.
Be on deck WELL BEFORE 7am.
Don’t make me be the one A-Hole trying to reserve 4-5 adjacent lanes by himself.
*Lanes are not rented; We rely on YOU arriving early to have side-by-side lanes.
*If you do not have a membership, you must pay the $6 CAD drop-in fee at the entrance desk on arrival – plan accordingly.
FORMAT & RULES:
- No in-water warm-up; Dynamic stretching on dry land on the pool deck only
- We get going right into the 100m’s on fixed send-off pace time
- Should be all freestyle stroke (at least till 50 reps are completed)
- A 5-10 min break at 50×100 is allowed for those that keep going after 50
- Occasional/partial use of the pull boy is OK if you need to get through it.. but no other swim toys.
- NO lava shorts (neoprene shorts)
- DON’T BE LATE
REGISTRATION:
We recommend you pick a lane where you get 10-15 seconds rest on a fresh 100 going at mod/steady pace; Do NOT forget to consider the pool is in 50m configuration and therefore times are slower by 4-6 seconds per 100m for most people than what you would see on a 25m pool. You can use this conversion tool if helpful to figure out your estimated time in 50m configuration from SCM or SCY (25 yards) pool.
Also note the time you register for is a “Send Off” (start time to start time), and therefore includes your desired rest time between each 100.
Please add your name on the Registration Form and pick your send-off time. An email will be sent to confirm you filled the form
LANE … SENDOFF TIME
L0 = 2:15 2:20 (UPD 2/2/24 – was 2:20)
L1 = 2:10
L2 = 2:00
L3 = 1:50
L4 = placeholder for “super humans” wanting a faster sendoff time than posted above (going on 1:40 or 1:45?) – if enough demand and pending lane availability
