There are teams at the Tucson JCC, Ford Aquatics, and Ventana Canyon.
  Those are the ones I know of off of the top of my head.  There may be
others at the local YMCAs but the three that I mentioned are active.

There will be more open water swims in Arizona in the future.  June
Hussey (she swims for Ventana Canyon) is our Open Water person and is
working on this.  Stay tuned...

I am just getting into open water (have been a pool swimmer for many years) and
would
like to get more experience. I'm located in Tucson but am not yet on a master's
team
there...I understand that Ford Aquatics is very well known, and that there may
also be a
team at the Jewish Community Center? Please let me know if open water events
look like
they're going to happen; I'm interested!

Anybody out there enjoy open water swimming?

I want to hear people's thoughts about having a series of open water
swims this fall in Arizona.

There may be a couple of swims in Tempe Town Lake and even an ocean
mile down in Rocky Point...

What I want to hear is if this is something that you would like to do.

Let's hear your thoughts.

Here is a great article on Nick Brunelli

Story:
Mansfield native is hot in the pool

Each year, competitive swimmer Nick Brunelli gets faster and faster.

In 2002, he was ranked 115th in the world in the 50-meter freestyle; in 2003, he
was 53rd; 2004, he was 20th and in 2005, he was 5th.

Those of us who were at the Short Course State Championships at Brophy
on Saturday witnessed a record and a miracle within five minutes.

Ron Johnson set a new record in the 200 Yard Breaststroke on Saturday
morning and was warming down when he went into cardiac arrest. He was
quickly pulled from the pool and was given CPR by fellow swimmers,
several of whom were medical professionals.

After a few minutes, the paramedics arrived and Ron was taken to a
nearby hospital. He underwent successful quadruple bypass heart
surgery on Saturday and his condition is improving. As I receive
updates on his condition I will post an update on the blog.

In the meantime, keep Ron and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Many of us have either seen him compete, been coached by him, or have
read his writings about swimming. He is a living legend and a part of
the Arizona Masters Swimming family.

Best wishes Ron!

Special thanks to all of those who assisted Ron during his time of need.

If you are going to swim at Short Course Nationals in May or if you
want to swim one more meet before the season ends, you may want to
consider this meet:

http://www.spma.net/meetforms2007/SCYRegionals2007a.htm

Santa Clarita is a community just north of LA that is hosting the
Southern Pacific Masters Short Course Regionals this year.  It should
be a good meet with some top competition from all over Southern
California.

If you are interested in going to this meet, let me know.  Pass the
meet URL along to anybody you know who may be interested in this meet.

Thanks!


Doug Adamavich

Reminder, the entry deadline for the Sun Devil Invite is coming up.
If you want to swim in this meet, get your entries in to Katy before
this weekend.  Need more info?  Go to Files and download the entry form.

See you there!


Doug Adamavich

Don't forget that is you are a member of this group, you can post!

For example, some of you are planning on going to SCY Nationals this
spring in Seattle.  You can discuss this to arrange rooms and other
matters related to this event.  This is a great forum for that.

So good luck with your posting.


Doug Adamavich

For those who are interested in socializing outside the pool, Arizona
Masters is hosting a social hour at Four Peaks Brewery on Tuesday.

Ok, it is actually two hours...

Go to the Files section and you will see the PDF for this event.  All
the info is in it so check it out.

See you there!


Doug Adamavich

Everybody,

Looks like I locked things down a little too tight on the site.  I made
a change to the site permissions and now everybody should be able to
see and download files.  Sorry for any confusion this caused.


Doug Adamavich

Next Tuesday, we are having a social hour at Four Peaks Brewery in
Tempe.  The event flyer has been posted in the Files section of the
group site, consider yourselves invited.  Also, if you know of anybody
who is interested in swimming, let them know about the event.

It should be a good time at one of the best brewpubs anywhere!

See you there!


Doug Adamavich

FYI,

Our sister LMSC in Southern California (SPMA) is going to host a large
meet about four weeks before SCY Nationals.  The 2007 SPMA Regional
Championships Short Course Yards will be held on April 20-22, 2007 at
Santa Clarita, which is just outside of LA.

This will be a great tune-up meet for that event or it can be a final
hurrah to the Short Course season.  Unlike Nationals, there are no
qualifying times but the competition is tough and the pool will be fast.

Word 'round the campfire is that the meet organizers want to bid on a
masters national meet in the near future.  This would be a preview of
the pool and location, which is something to keep in mind.

The meet form will be posted on this site in the near future:

http://www.spma.net/meetforms.htm

Is anybody interested in attending this event?  I am planning on going
for the weekend, let me know if anybody else is interested.



Doug Adamavich

BTW, the PDF for the SCY State Championships is now posted at:

Files > Event Registration and Information

Good luck and see you at Brophy!

Doug

From memory, here is the list of people who are planning on going to
Nationals this year in Federal Way, WA:

Doug Adamavich
Vern Fuller
Katy James
Christy Altman
...

I am sure there others that will go.  If you know of somebody, tell
them about the Yahoo group so we can use this as a forum to discuss
plans.


Doug Adamavich

If anybody from Arizona plans on attending the upcoming Short Course
Nationals in Seattle, WA this spring, speak up!

We want to get an idea of who plans on attending and what days you will
be there.  More details will follow but the idea is to have a group
that can cheer eachother on and hang-out in between events.

See ya in Seattle!



Doug Adamavich

We have the PDFs for both the Sun Devil Invite and the LCM State
Championship meet.  Both of these can be found at:

Files > Event Registration and Information

The SCY State Championship meet information will be posted within the
next 48 hours.


Doug Adamavich

After the new year, you can swim in the annual TAM 1650 postal.  The
entry form is in the Files section of the site.


Doug Adamavich

The entry form for the 2007 Polar Bear Meet is now posted.  You can
get it by going to:

Files > Event Registration and Information

Hope to see you all there!

---Any noticed that Swim magazine asked for workouts?
If you have no coach, what do you do?
Perhaps some with experience might comment or advise on merits or
needs of these. And mine that follows.
These work-outs == "Trying to get back into the swim of things."
To keep track of distance I try a routine grouped of 500's
<>>with minimum of 3000 yds in 1+hr if possible,
<>>up to 5000 for full, if time, about 1 1/2 - 2 hours,
<>>and a few of 7-10,000, for "wind-up" workouts c.3 weeks before
major meets.

THE OLD GUY'S W-O --- 2-3X, 4+X? @ week:
>>> 500 + one length Warm-up: Stretching for feel and form
Kicks 12-10--one length, then 8-6, 6-4 [for three lengths] @ one arm
pull [slow for feel and form] keeping one arm extended until other
hand joins after pull.
Two lengths with one arm butterfly/dolphin motion, varying pull to 4-
2 pulls with same arm, then alternating. Again slow, for feel, form
and stretching.
THEN 200 IM slow for feel and form. Trying to keep 4-5 strokes [deep
pulls] across pool for first length/fly.
Then another 200 IM, or 2-100 IM feel and form, but checking time.
OR 2-100 free with paddles and pull-buoy.
NOTE: Use paddles for feel and form--NOT futile flailing.

>>>500 Free-- continuing to build, but with more effort now.
I use paddles and pull buoy.
Goal--do without these under 8 minutes, though 9-10 minutes now.
5-100 free--rest between as needed 5-10 seconds. OR swim it all as
one 500. Start on top or bottom [quarter?].

>>>500 kicking with fins--free or choice or 5-100s timing. 0-10
seconds rest. Goal: 1:30 100s or less on 1:40

>>>750
Free or Fly, inserting 50 back [rest stroke for feel and form].
5-100 free with fins and paddles with 50 back in between

>>>750
Free or Fly, 10-50s as above, inserting 25 back as above.
NOW at 3000 total. One + hour.

Repeat last two with fly or free, not done above.
NOW at 4500.
THIS IS NOT SPRINT portion, only "warm-up" or "return to fitness"

>>>500 Cool down
Breaststroke, IM and/or free cool--5-100s or 10 50s

ALTERNATE or ADDITIONs w breaststroke
Or SPRINTS .. e-mail at xlmini@...
if interested. Or post comments

Right now we have a fairly small group.  This is going to grow by
several hundred in the next few months.

Why you ask?

Well, we are going to use the group as a tool to communicate with our
members.  This will enable us to pass information along faster than
before.  Plus, more folks will be able to enjoy features like chat and
discussion threads that they don't even know exist.

Kinda cool but a bit daunting...

In the here and now though, what thoughts are on your minds?  Share
them as they relate to swimming, because we should get the
conversation started somehow.

In the future, I will schedule chat sessions but we will need to get
to a critical mass first.

Any thoughts you all want to share?
