NEWAC Hosts First Swim Meet Sunday For Clarington swimmers, the season is already more than six months old, and yet March also brings a new beginning. Competitive Competitive swimming is divided into short course (25 metre pool) and long course (50m Olympic length pool) seasons, with the changeover happening happening in March. The first meet of the new season will be held at home in Bowmanville, Bowmanville, with visitors from Pickering, Port Hope, Aurora, Durham, Lindsay Lindsay and Markham. As a special event, the Markham team will be attempting attempting a Canadian record in the 11 and 12 girls' medley relay at the meet Eighteen athletes from the local club travelled to St. Catharines for the school break last week to get a jump on long course season. The training camp consisted of two training training sessions per day, usually in long course. Swimmers also had the opportunity opportunity to listen to special speakers, including including Brock University coaches and swimmers, as well as 1984 Olympic finalist Dave ShemilL The facilities of the university were put to further use as the senior swimmers were put through a sophisticated sophisticated blood lactate test to help determine optimum training speed. Overall, the camp was an excellent excellent transition from a successful short course, to what is sure to be a successful long course season. All members of the team swam in one or more final competitions in February, February, and all will race in the preliminary preliminary meets of the new season in the coming weeks. NEWAC attended meets in Pickering, Pickering, Richmond Hill and Lindsay, as well as Regional, Provincial Age Group Camps, Senior Champs, and Eastern Canadian Champs all in the past month. One of the best indicators of the club's progress was the number of swimmers who improved, not just in one or two races, but in all their events at a given competition. The following athletes accomplished this impressive feat: Dave James, Sonia Stasyszyn, Devon Preston, Deepak Angl, Malcolm and Marshall Bonner, Bonner, Natalie and Nathan Bums, Melanie Melanie Fuller, Amber Key, Dairen Ne- mis, Jessica and Kathleen Nichols, Krysten Sawyer, Brian and Paul Vanderspruit, Christine Dymarski, Jenny Ellis, Christine and Peter Fri- sina, Adele Jenkins, Krista Robinson, Robinson, and Toby Limebeer.
