Welcome to our website!

We hope the site gives you all that you wanted to know about our fast growing club anchored at the all new H₂O 50 meter facility in Mission. It would be fantastic if you could be part of our club and join one of our many swim options designed just for you whether it be Triathlons, Open Water, Competitive Swimming or simply a good overall workout. All levels of swimmer are accommodated and welcome.

The purpose of the site is to keep you, the active swimmer, up-to-date with all the latest info on our club, events and just swim stuff in general.

Would you like to see something on the site? Swim on over to the contact page and splash us a comment. If it’s a good idea, we’ll post it and claim it as being our idea. If it’s a lousy one, we’ll still post it, but we won’t claim it as ours!

We hope you enjoy the site. More content will be added as time goes on so please check back often! Oh, and tell your swim buddies to stop by too!

Darn, can’t remember if the left arm is supposed to be bent while your head is tilted to the right, or was that the right arm tilted when your left leg is bent? Ugh, check out these stroke checklists:

Drafting Distance in Swimming

Peter Rudd — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 03:23:11 +0000

An excellent, detailed study on the best distance to draft. Should you draft at the side, at the back, and how far away?

Here’s an excerpt: In submaximal conditions, at 95% of a maximum speed over a 549-m swim, Bassett et al. (1) showed that drafting affects the metabolic response to swimming. Oxygen consumption was reduced by 8 +/- 12%, blood lactate concentration by 33 17%, and the rate of perceived exertion by 21 +/- 10%. The lower resistive body drag (passive drag) forces encountered by the swimmers at maximum speed are responsible for the observed metabolic change (5). These forces are 13–26% lower than those for the lead swimmer, depending on the velocity of the triathletes.

Whoa, doesn’t that make your fins flutter? Well, if you’re still awake then here’s the entire study in PDF format. But just remember, someone has to lead.
