<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_gjdgxs"></a>We are looking for a coach to split coaching 4, one hour practices a week: Saturday and Sunday morning practices from 9:00-10:00am; Tuesday and Thursday night practices from 8:30:-9:30pm from early September to the end of June. <o:p></o:p></div>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_h0732m5l6b7a"></a>From September to December, we are looking for a coach Thursday 8:30 pm-9:30pm and Sunday 9-10am. We hope that a candidate will lead us into our 2020 sessions, January to June especially during our night and Sunday morning practices.<o:p></o:p></div>

OCM is a small club of about 40 members that has been swimming out of Champagne Pool, at 321 York Street and the University of Ottawa for the past 9 years. Our swimmers are a mix of former competitive swimmers, tri-athletes, to people just looking for a good work-out. We do expect our swimmers to have a degree of ability in the water, so coaches are not expected to teach our members to swim.<o:p></o:p></div>

If you're interested in helping adults that are passionate about swimming please send us an email at ottawacentremasters@gmail.com and we'd be happy to discuss opportunities with the club.<o:p></o:p></div>

Good lane etiquette, makes all the difference between really enjoying your work-out or getting out of the pool frustrated and/or disappointed in your swim.<br /><br />We encourage all our members to read and apply the following to their swims.<br /><br /> Here are some quick points followed by a more in depth look at standard operating procedure for lane swimming with a Masters Club.</div>
<br /><span style="color: white;"><b>REST:</b> Take the rest! If you are faster than everyone else in your lane - it is crucial to give your lane mates the rest that is prescribed in the set. <br /><br /><b>SPEEDS:</b> Accept that some people people may be slower or faster than you in your lane. It doesn't mean they should not be in that lane.<br /><br /><b>BODIES PER LANE: </b>Try to even the lanes as much as possible but not at the expense of your experience or to be in a lane that's way too fast or way too slow just for numbers.<br /><br /><b>BE ON TIME: </b>The session starts on time every time. Arriving late is very disruptive to the lanes (if they need to be adjusted) and makes it difficult for the coach and swimmers. <br /><br /><b>STAY TOGETHER: </b>If you fall out of sync with the work-out please regroup with the leader of the lane. Begin the works-outs together. This is especially helpful if you have speed differences.<br /><br /><b>COACHING/SETS:</b> We all pay to get a work-out provided by a highly experienced coach, if you want to adjust the session, discuss in your lane and make a lane decision, please don't just do your own workout. </span><div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /><b>LASTLY: </b>Questions are always welcome.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
Also - don't forget to have fun and encourage your fellow swimmers. </div>

</span><br /><b>Pre-Swim:</b> <br />-arrive early or on time <br />-listen to pre-workout talk before you get in the water <br />-help with setup if necessary/put your equipment away at the end of practice <br /><br /><b>Choose a lane: </b><br />- match your pace and level to the appropriate lane and take the rest interval as provided <br />- move up or down lanes adjusting to the workout and even up lane numbers <br />- ask coach if you are unsure which lane you should be in, and be prepared for the coach to move you to a more appropriate lane when necessary.</div>
<div>
<br /><b>Start: </b><br />- begin the workout together <br />- if you arrive late, join the set in progress <br /><br /><b>Circles: </b><br />- even lanes swim up the left and odd lanes swim up the right <br />-or follow the direction arrows located at the end of the lane <br /><br /><b>Leaders: </b><br />- fastest person for each set (depending on stroke, drill, etc) should lead and the rest should follow in order of speed <br />- understand the set, pace time, and suggest that everyone takes their FULL rest interval <br /><br /><b>All swimmers: </b><br />- leave 5-10 sec. between swimmers when starting <br />- talk problems over so that they don’t re-occur <br />- introduce newcomers to the lane system in a positive manner <br /><br /><b>Overtaking: </b><br />- touch the slower swimmer’s foot <br />- the slower swimmer moves over or stops at the wall to allow safe passing, then follows the passer <br /><br /><b>Turns: </b><br />- move to the other side of the lane and push off straight <br /><br /><b>Finishes: </b><br />- if you have stopped, keep the ends of the lane clear to allow continuing swimmers space to turn <br /><br /><b>Breaks:</b> <br />- if you come late or take a break, rejoin the set in progress <br />- don’t start where you left off <br /><br /><b>Coaches: </b><br />- ask them for advice <br />- give them feedback, what did you like or dislike about the work-out? <br /><br />Ottawa Centre Masters<br /><br /></div>

Instead of a brunch for this month, the Board and Head Coach are hosting a Social event. This social will take place at Aaron's barber shop, centrally located in the <a href="https://maps.google.com/?q=Byward+Market,+91+Murray+Street&entry=gmail&source=g">Byward Market, 91 Murray Street</a> (<a href="http://www.notyourfathersbarber.com/">http://www.notyourfathersbarber.com</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/">www.facebook.com</a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/NotYourFathersBarber">/NotYourFathersBarber</a>) on <b>Saturday, May 26 from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm.</b> Yes, it is the night before the Race Weekend half and full marathon, but it's an early night and non-alcoholic beverages will also be available. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This has been an unusual year for our club so this social is a fundraiser. As it stands, OCM will fall short on our commitments before the end of this session. So in an effort to continue to have 4 practices this spring session, we need to raise enough funds. Otherwise we will need to cancel practices until the end of the session ending June 17 to make up the short fall. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We hope that you can attend and bring a guest to enjoy the festivities. We are selling tickets for 25$ which allows you to enjoy a free drink, appetizers, entry for a door prize, opportunity to bid on auction items, and of course, stimulating talk about swimming and more. Additional drinks are available by donation. Like our fees, we can accept e-transfers, cheques, and cash for tickets. <b>Please RSVP by Friday, May 11 (Email us at ottawacentremasters@gmail.com) </b>and let us know how many tickets your wish to buy and how you will purchase your tickets. Like our fees, we can accept e-transfers, cheques, and cash for tickets.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We are hoping to have prizes, but we need your help. Do you have connections to a business or service that will donate a prize or gift certificate of some sort? Please let us know and bring your item(s) to practice before the Social. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is an appeal and thank you for all your energy that you put into the swim club. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Bonjour,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Au lieu d’un brunch ce mois-ci, le conseil et l’entraîneur principal du club organisent une réception. La réception aura lieu au salon d’Aaron, en plein coeur du <a href="https://maps.google.com/?q=march%C3%A9+By,+91+rue+Murray&entry=gmail&source=g">marché By, 91 rue Murray</a> (<a href="http://www.notyourfathersbarber.com/">http://www.notyourfathersbarber.com</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/">www.facebook.com</a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/NotYourFathersBarber">/NotYourFathersBarber</a>), <b>samedi 26 mai, de 19 h à 22 h.</b> C’est la veille du demi marathon et du marathon, c’est vrai. Mais ce sera une soirée sympa où l’on pourra jaser et s’amuser, et retrouver d’autres membres du club (anciens et nouveaux) autrement qu’en barbotant. Et puis nous servirons aussi des boissons non alcoolisées et la soirée se terminera tôt.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cette année a été quelque peu difficile pour le club. La soirée sera donc l’occasion de recueillir des fonds sans quoi nous ne pourrons faire face à toutes nos obligations d’ici à la fin de la session. Pour pouvoir continuer d’avoir quatre entraînements par semaine, nous avons besoin de recueillir assez d’argent. Dans le cas contraire, nous serons contraints d’annuler des entraînements, au besoin, <b>d’ici au 17 juin (Écrivez-nous à ottawacentremasters@gmail.com).</b> Les billets pour la soirée coûtent 25 $ / pièce. Le billet vous donne droit à une boisson gratuite, des amuse-bouche, un prix de présence et la possibilité de participer à des enchères. Et puis quoi de mieux que de pouvoir parler natation et bien plus encore avec des amis. Vous pourrez vous procurer toute boisson supplémentaire en échange d’un don.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Comme pour les frais de session, vous pouvez payer vos billets par virement électronique, chèque ou argent comptant. Merci de nous dire d’ici au vendredi 11 mai combien de billets vous souhaitez acheter et comment vous compter payer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nous espérons avoir des prix d’entrée, mais pour cela nous avons besoin de votre aide. Connaissez-vous un magasin ou une entreprise qui serait prête à faire un don? Si oui, merci d’apporter l’article à l’un des prochains entraînements avant la soirée.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Merci d’avance de votre aide et de votre soutien envers notre club de natation.</div>
