How Long Does It Take To Swim To New York?by Ron Rhinehart
According to the Monroe YMCA Masters (MYM), it takes most of the year! As part of the 2010 Go The Distance contest (see page 4 for more information on the Go The Distance event for 2011), members of the MYM workout group tracked their yardage, with the goal of swimming a distance equivalent to Monroe, WA to New York City within the year. On October 29, 2010, they swam ‘into Manhattan’ wearing shirts emblazoned with the ‘I ♥ New York’ logo (top photo, below). Just for good measure, they threw in a couple apple relays in honor of The Big Apple (bottom photo).
The group found imaginative ways to keep interest and motivation high. Team member Susan Botts explained, “During our Go The Distance challenge, each month Lars, a team member, would email us a short story, and usually included team member family photographs of people or homesteads from the area we were ‘swimming’ through.”
Congratulations to the Monroe Area Y Masters on ‘Going The Distance’ in 2010. According to Botts, their group is beginning a southbound ‘journey’ for the 2011 contest. How far will your workout group swim this year?

LEADING OFFBY PNA
PRESIDENT STEVE PETERSON
First Meet of 2011Complaining of an aching shoulder and sore elbow, I’ll
admit I wasn’t looking forward to January’s Anacortes SCM meet. Once there, though, my conversations with fellow competitors revealed that my aches and concerns were hardly unique. And after that first race, wow! Endorphins? Adrenaline? My pains disappeared and I was glad I’d made the trip. Over 130 swimmers came to compete. One of the highlights was watching Megan Jendrick set tentative world records in (at least) three of her four races. What fun swimming next to an Olympian in the 200 Breast, though nearly being lapped! Thank you to Meet Director Jason Hunter and his team of Thunderbird Aquatics and Anacortes High School volunteers and our officials for putting on a fine meet.
Just under way is the “Beat The Clock” meet at Briggs Y in Olympia (February 5), then repeats
of last year’s Lake Washington Masters’ meet at Juanita Aquatic Center (February 20) and ORCA’s Seattle University meet (March 12). You can enter each of these meets on line through our website.
This year, do something special for a deserving coach or teammate by nominating them for the PNA Coach of the Year or Dawn Musselman Inspirational Swimmer awards (details inside). These awards will be presented at PNA Champs at Federal Way on the weekend of April 9-10.
SwimPNA.orgI was overly optimistic in
predicting the release of our updated website in November’s issue. Our development committee is working diligently with Club Assistant to forge a much improved site. I’ve seen preliminary examples of its new appearance and features and I think you’ll agree it’s worth the wait.
ClinicsWe postponed the New
Swimmer Clinic and Practice Meet for a more opportune time. Nearly 30 participants appreciated the Super Sessions with Bob Strand and Rich Abrahams on January 29. On March 20 Karlyn Pipes-Neilsen will return to present two action-packed clinics (morning: freestyle; afternoon: other strokes).
U.S. Masters Swimming, Inc. and the Pacific Northwest Association of Masters Swimmers are now, as they always have been, concerned for the safety and health of their members. They will continue to disseminate such information concerning swimming safety and health as comes to their attention. However, U.S. Masters Swimming, Inc. and the Pacific Northwest Association of Masters Swimmers cannot and does not accept responsibility for the content of any information or material not authored by United States Masters Swimming, Inc. or the Pacific Northwest Association of Masters Swimmers.

A Life Fulfilled, A Life Too ShortJust below you’ll read about one of the grand ladies of PNA, Marion Chadwick, who took up
competitive and open water swimming a$er she retired as a teacher. I last saw her at a Senior Games meet, graciously determined to accomplish her goals despite the chilly outdoor weather. Marion passed away on January 16. Another member of our PNA family suffered a terrible loss just a few days later. Kim Jeter’s son, first-grader Jacob, was the victim of a floatplane accident on Lake Goodwin. “A bright and shining star” wrote Jacob’s teacher, “whose light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew him.” Please add Marion and Kimberly and their families to your thoughts and prayers.
One Hour SwimI hope you found a pool, had a great swim and sent your results to Sally Dillon. Pool closures twice
interrupted my plan and as of this writing I’m scrambling to challenge my last year’s effort.Swim in good health!

Coaches Needed For Spring Nationals !
2011 USMS Spring Nationals will be held at the Kino Aquatic Complex in Mesa, AZApril 28 - May 1, 2011
PNA needs to send at least 2 coaches - all expenses paid, including daily stipend.Email Lisa Dahl at [email protected] if interested
In Memory Of A Master SwimmerMarion Chadwick 1921 - 2011
PNA lost one of its more accomplished members in January. Marion Chadwick, whose autobiography was entitled “Tales Of A Master Swimmer,” was a competitor in pool and open water events for several decades. In the pool, she achieved 111 USMS Top Ten times and took home an assortment of medals from national and world championship events (as recently as the 2007 Short Course Nationals at age 85), but her open water exploits were equally remarkable.
She swam the 16-mile circumference of Mercer Island each summer for over 35 years, competed in the Waikiki Roughwater Swim and Maui Channel Relay, and open water competitions around the world. Jan Kavadas recalls that Marion paired with another swimmer to do the Lake Washington Relay (lengthwise), followed by a 10K walk/run! Making these accomplishments even more remarkable is that although she had been an avid swimmer for many years, she did not enter an open water competition until she was in her mid-60’s.
Her autobiography (co-written with Karen Lynn Maher and published in 2006) portrays an athlete who sought out open water swimming experiences not just for health and competition, but to encounter and appreciate nature.
As the foreword to her book stated, “Marion Chadwick models for all ages what one can do by setting goals, being determined, staying the course and pursuing dreams.” We offer condolences to Charles (husband of 65 years), daughters Robin and Marcy, and extended family and friends.

Challenge Yourself - The 2011 Check Off ChallengeIt’s a new year and your friends have their 2011 goals set. Race strategies and travel plans are coming
together, as they (try to) balance precious workout time with equally-precious family time.But... you are not a competitor and you don’t have any travel plans. This is not the year you’re going to do
an Ironman... neither is next year. You have never swum the 200 fly - and you never plan to do it. Maybe, though... just maybe... you DO need a little challenge. One that is not timed - just a challenge that, once met, lets you say with pride, “yeah, I really DID finish the 200 fly.” No one with a stopwatch to know how long it took, so there’s no record of how fast or slow you were, and no officials to tell you that you forgot to touch the wall with two hands. Instead, you can do it all by yourself, one 25 at a time, until you get to eight lengths. Resting on the wall for two seconds or 1:45 is allowed. Just do eight lengths. Your first 200 fly. DONE.
The USMS Check-off Challenge is for just that sort of challenge. It is the time to say you swam something for the first time and want more, or the time to set a stretch goal for swimming events you may never have done otherwise…all on your time. The Check Off Challenge is a postal event that gives you the opportunity to swim all the pool events…on your own time throughout the calendar year.
You can swim the 18 pool events in one workout, or one per workout, or as races during meets. You can take a full year to complete the events. There is one open water swim on the list, though. How about hitting the ocean on your next vacation?
This year, the USMS Check-off Challenge is being run by Maryland Masters. If you’ve ever been to a YMCA Nationals meet, you’d know that they are one of the most spirited teams in the country and have some of the coolest outfits. Everything matches. Somehow they even get the men to wear black and red nail polish on their toes. The Check-off Challenge T-shirts are sure to be a hit.
COACHES: Sign up your entire team and use the event as a team challenge. Spread out the practice sessions, progressively building up to the tougher events. The entire team can work together, cheering each other on.
Ready for a challenge? Visit the USMS website (http://www.usms.org/fitness/content/checkoff) to learn more about the Check Off Challenge.
Go the Distance in 2011! In the past three years, Go The Distance (GTD) has become the fastest growing USMS program. More
than 1,000 members participated in this USMS fitness event in 2009; even more in 2010. GTD is a self-directed program intended to encourage Masters swimmers to regularly exercise and track their progress. There is no time limit for the distance milestones, except that they must be achieved in the calendar year. Speed does not count - just the effort to attain whatever goal you set for yourself.
GTD is completed on the honor system - you track the distance you swim. Daily, weekly, or monthly, you enter that information into your online Fitness Log (FLOG) on the USMS website. When you achieve certain milestones, ranging from 50 miles through 1500 miles, you will be recognized on the U.S. Masters Swimming website, in the monthly e-newsletter STREAMLINES, and receive special prizes from our new title sponsor for the event, Nike Swim.
There is no cost to enter GTD. You may register for GTD through your FLOG in the My USMS section of the website. Your FLOG allows you to to track all your fitness activity, not just swimming, while simultaneously participating in GTD. Once you've entered GTD, your results are automatically included in the daily summary reports, and your milestone awards are sent directly to you.

PNA Annual Membership and Board Meeting SummaryDecember 7, 2010
By Herb Cook, PNA Secretary
After an excellent potluck dinner at the home of Registrar Arni Litt, the PNA Board took the following actions at its final 2010 meeting:
Approved changes to Open Water/Long Distance policy items OW/LD-39 and -40, specifying the responsibilities of Event Directors to verify the USMS memberships of event entrants, and to provide information to the Registrar on One-Event Registrations;
Approved an Event Date Request form to be used by Event sponsors who wish to reserve dates for 2011 pool meets, open water swims and clinics.
Approved PNA’s budget for 2011, with projected revenue of $38,116, expenditures of $52,411, and an operating deficit of $14,295. The budget includes significant expense increases for clinics (mostly offset by increased clinic fee income); national convention travel; swimmer and coach support; and fitness swimmer initiatives. Board members noted that the projected deficit constitutes only about one-third of PNA’s cash reserve and poses no threat to the Association’s solvency.
Adopted a revised schedule of 2011 Board Meetings on the following dates:January 25 at Sarah Welch’s home in Seattle;March 19 at Sally Dillon’s home in Issaquah (half-day retreat);May 17 at Jan Kavadas’s condo in Edmonds;June 28 at Hugh & Jane Moore’s home in Tacoma; August 23 at Jeanne Ensign’s condo in Seattle;October 22 at Sally’s home (full-day retreat);December 8 at Arni Litt’s home in Seattle (potluck & budget meeting).
PNA President Steve Peterson appointed himself, Sally Dillon and Shannon Singer to the Nominating Committee, responsible for securing candidates to stand for election in April to the offices of PNA President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and At-Large Board Members (3).

Banned Speedo Suit Reborn In Fashion(Excerpt, originally published on www.thecoolist.com)
The famed Speedo LZR swim suit broke 91 world records before being banned from competitive use. That gaggle of gold medals around Michael Phelps neck were aided by this suit, as were many other competitive successes. Now that it is no longer in use, the fashionable students at the London College of Fashion recycled the suit for a collection of designs that pay homage to the suit’s short history. A new range of dressed-down swimwear was designed using this suit as both inspiration and material...In addition, the designers at From Somewhere have created their own line of clothing from recycled LZR suits which should be released early this year.
Developing An Annual Training Plan - More Informationby Ron Rhinehart
After the short article regarding annual training plans, published in the January issue of The WetSet, several readers asked where they could find additional information. Here are some recommended sources:
(1) Wikipedia, see ‘Sports Periodization’ - overview of macro/meso/micro cycles and preparatory/competitive/transition phases www.wikipedia.org/wiki/sports_periodization
(2) Periodization Training For Sports, 2nd Edition, by Dr. Tudor Bomba & Michael Carrera - emphasizes strength training but the sections on Program Design and Periodized Training have applicability to aerobic training as well. Dr. Bomba is Professor Emeritus at York University, and is credited with developing the concept of periodization of strength in Romania in 1963.
(3) Joe Friel’s Blog - www.trainingbible.cm/joesblog - Friel is the author of ten books on training for endurance sports, including the Training Bible series. He holds a masters degree in exercise science and is an active coach and public speaker.
Good luck with your 2011 plan!
