Swimming tonite. Jan 6th 2011

Jan. 6th. There will be swimming tonite even if there is a bit of snow. See you there.

Coach Eric caught in secret training video ...

It has been discovered that Coach Eric has secretly been training and trying out "new moves" for the upcoming season - including pool entries and exits, diving, and rescue techniques. The clandestine video shot of his training regime shows that he may have a rough training schedule in mind for the members this season. Of greatest concerns to the members may be his unorthodox diving entry technique that he demonstrates in the video - he no doubt will have us practice from the roof of Glen Erin. This could be an interesting season as he prepares us for the provincials next year.

Early Morning Swim

Swimmers pass the ray of light coming from the window in the Glen Forest Pool on Sunday morning. Although an early morning workout is EARLY, the sun streaming through the windows and into the water makes for a pleasant morning.

Club reaction to Pub Night announcement!

Members react to announcement of the upcoming pub night on Thursday. Pub nights are held on a regular basis so members can regain lost fluids during strenuous workouts – or so they say! See you there!

Icelandic <> Canadian members exchange exotic substances.

Icelandic Mississauga Masters swimmer Alan Mackay is caught on camera exchanging mysterious white powder for exotic herbs with fellow swimmer Doug Elsey during a recent visit by Doug to Iceland (where he was taking pictures of things blowing up for NATO Special Forces.)  Subsequent tests revealed that it “tastes like soap!!!” .. and ‘that stuff could pass for decent tea!” – totally destroying the theory of a clandestine life led by each!

Alan passes his best on to the members and certainly has an open invite to anyone from the club visiting Iceland – a REALLY neat place! (And Doug DID manage to get his washing  done too – and Alan now has 213 teabags to suck on over the winter months.)
