Streamline!
Check out the picture it has great streamline tips. This is an easy way to improve your swimming. Notes:
-A good streamline reminds you to stretch through your core on the beginning of each lap, a feeling you should maintain as you break-out into your full freestyle stroke.
- This position gives your upper back and shoulders a mini stretch on every push-off which develops and maintains your flexibility over time.
- The speed you will gain in the pool allows you to train with swimmers who would otherwise be a little bit quicker than you.

The Pool Dome is Here!
GCSTO Schedule
3 Event Limit – All Buckeye swimmers have been scratched down to 6 events total on Saturday & Sunday to comply with a request from GCSTO to limit entries.
Warm-Ups & Positive Check-In Times
Here are the assigned warm-up time periods:
Friday: 5:30 pm (please be ready to go at 5:20)
POSITIVE CHECK-IN CLOSES AT 5:35 P.M. FOR ALL EVENTS.
Saturday & Sunday A.M. Sessions: Please be ready at 8:15 am - All Buckeye, Bobcat, FAST, LTPY & MW swimmers 8:20 - 8:45 A.M./ Open warm-ups 8:45-9:00 A.M./ Meet Starts: 9:05 A.M. (expected finish time is 1:05 p.m. on both days with Sunday’s miles ending around 2:30 p.m.). POSITIVE CHECK-IN CLOSES AT 8:25 A.M. FOR ALL EVENTS
Please read on for a note from the meet host:
Greetings Holiday Meet Participants,
Just some quick notes to help everything go as smoothly as possible this weekend. If you are a coach receiving this please pass this on to your Holiday Meet participants if you would as this really helps keep the meet running smooth.
Salvation Army Holiday Cheer Event
We are asking all participants to reach down into their pockets and help out a child this holiday season by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy to donate to this worthy cause. We will have 2 collection areas… one will be at the heat sheet sales table located just inside the doors as you enter from the east side of the facility and one will be right at our concession stand in the wrestling room. Please consider bringing in something so that our goal of 300 presents donated to this charity is achieved. Last year we delivered over 200 gifts to the Salvation Army Holiday Cheer event MUCH to their appreciation as they were truly short of gifts and were looking for some way to fill in the gap at the last minute. The look on their faces when we pulled up with the gifts at that last minute was priceless! PLEASE HELP US OUT AND BRING ON IN A GIFT!
Parking
Please remember to park on the east side of our facility which is on the opposite side of the facility from the football field without exception. There is a lot on the west side of the facility but that is not to be used so that it remains clear for Academy functions. Those doors will, in fact, be locked so you’d have to walk all of the way around the facility to get in. Thanks.
Meet Operations
No Spectators On Deck – Please remember that only, coaches, meet personal and athletes are to be on deck at any USA Swimming sanctioned event.
Wheelchair Access – Anyone needing wheelchair access should contact their head coach, in advance, so that arrangements can be made with meet management for access to the venue.
No Peanuts at the Pool – We’re running a peanut free environment to help ensure the safety of any competitors with peanut allergies so please do not bring peanuts/peanut products into the event. THANKS!
Clothing – Please bring plenty of towels & extra dry clothes to ensure that your athletes stay as warm as possible at all times as, even with the heat the facility has, it can get cold in hallways and such due to folks coming in and out of the meet.
Ensuring Our 4 Hour Time Lines On Saturday & Sunday…
Positive Check-In/Deck Seeding – To ensure that we stay within our 4 hour time line on Saturday & Sunday we will also be having a positive check-in for ALL events and then seeding the meet from there. While this demands a few extra minutes up front and a very slight delay on getting heat sheets to spectators, the trade off is that this saves almost 30-45 minutes per session in terms of our time line.
No Relays – We are not planning on running relays on Saturday & Sunday. Refunds for relays that have already been paid will be made to the visiting teams promptly within days of the meet.
Female/Male Combined Events – Note that this meet format combines both genders of athletes and different age groups of athletes into the same event. This saves a tremendous amount of time in terms of “open heats” in the meet. Even though we are combining genders & age groups they will still be awarded separately. This format of combining everything simply adds a lot more competition to the meet and helps speed up meet operations.
Deck Entries – We will take deck entries into open lanes, only, so that we’re not adding heats. Note that on Friday, deck entries will be taken even if it does add a heat.
Flyover starts – We will use flyover starts for all events except the backstroke events.
Heat Sheet Sales
We will have the heat sheets for sale as soon as the deck seeding is complete. The heat sheet cost will be $2 for Friday night’s events and $4 each day for Saturday & Sunday’s events. Heat sheets sales will be at the table in the foyer as you enter the facility there on the east side. We will also send someone through the stands each day selling heat sheets, as well, once the meet starts. Please do your best to bring exact change for this if you would!

Penguin Plunge note from the Meet Director
Last year we ran in to issues with parents not being able to watch their swimmers swim, which led to frustration. What we ask is that each of you communicate with your parents and inform them that spending the whole meet in the stands is simply not an option. Parents should be in the wrestling room or in the pool lobby with their children and move to the stands only when their swimmer is swimming. Also, this may not be a meet to bring extended family or grandparents to see their swimmer compete.
Please let your team families know in advance that it will be crowded and we need their cooperation to run a successful meet, and to help ensure everyone can watch their swimmer swim. If this doesn't work at the Penguin Plunge we will be forced to reduce the number of swimmers and teams we accept entries for our following meets. We really want to accommodate every swimmer and team that wants to participate but need your help to make this possible. Again, please let your parents know in advance about our space issues so they will be prepared and so that we can avoid frustrations for all.

JUICING AND PERFORMANCE
BY DAN MCCARTHY//NATIONAL TEAM HIGH PERFORMANCE CONSULTANT
A recent New York Times article (Looking for Fitness in a Glass of Juice, Reynolds) confirmed that a number of Olympic medalists benefitted from juice at the 2012 London Games; more specifically, Beetroot juice and Tart Cherry juice. The research on both is only a year old, but the findings seem to be positive for these natural and healthy foods.
Beetroot juice comes from the purplish-red root of the beet and has been described as sweet by some, but earthy by others. Research done with cyclists and runners has shown an increase in velocity and in time to exhaustion after drinking Beetroot juice. It seems as if the Beetroot juice enhances the movement of oxygen and blood to the muscles and stimulates the muscles to make good use of the enhanced supply of oxygen. Beetroot juice seems to be most effective when it is part of an athlete’s daily diet, specifically 500 ml per day (about 16 ounces). Drinking one glass of Beetroot juice on a whim before practice apparently will not make a difference.
While Beetroot juice may improve your training performance, Tart Cherry juice is more effective in combatting muscle pain from intense training. Research done with individuals participating in acute strength training and marathon running has shown a decrease in the amount of pain reported by those drinking 8-12 ounces of Tart Cherry juice twice a day in the weeks preceding their training or competitive event. The natural ingredients in Tart Cherry juice have a combination of anti-inflammatory properties and a host of anti-oxidants.
As with many natural and healthy products which are best used in their most basic form, the supplement industry has tried to capitalize on their popularity with powders and capsules full of who-knows-what. Only be satisfied with the 100% natural juice versions of Tart Cherries and Beetroots. Additionally, more is not better, especially in the case of Beetroot juice. Nitrate, found in Beetroot juice, has been linked to cancer in exceptionally large doses. Both juices can be found at stores like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.

Children Who Swim are Smarter
As well as achieving physical milestones faster, children who swim also scored significantly better in visual-motor skills such as cutting paper, coloring in and drawing lines and shapes, and many mathematically-related tasks.
Their oral expression was also better as well as in the general areas of literacy and numeracy, found researchers from the Griffith Institute for Educational Research in Australia.
The study surveyed parents of 7000 under-fives from Australia, New Zealand and the US over three years.
A further 180 children aged 3, 4 and 5 years have been involved in intensive testing, making it the world`s most comprehensive study into early-years swimming.
Lead researcher Professor Robyn Jorgensen said the study shows young children who participate in early-years swimming achieve a wide range of skills earlier than the normal population.
"Many of these skills are those that help young children into the transition into formal learning contexts such as pre-school or school," Jorgensen said.
"The research also found significant differences between the swimming cohort and non-swimmers regardless of socio-economic background," Jorgensen said in a statement

Pool Project Update
Today's Status
We will make our final payment on the bubble this week. It is currently in storage in Massachusetts so our next step will be to get it moved here. Overall cost of the bubble, storage and transport to Columbus is approximately $92,500. We do have a potential buyer for this bubble that would secure everyone's investments should we not be able to move forward in Columbus.
We have spent the late summer & early fall speaking with builders throughout Ohio and getting bids for our project. In order to keep our doors open, our budget is tight (1.2 mil for the building and land). No one was able to bid the project within our budget. Most were 20-50% too high. So, we have broken the project into two pieces. Our essential piece is everything under the bubble (two working pools). Our 2nd piece will be the building that houses our locker rooms and offices. We have tentatively chosen CUC and PSS Pools out of Cincinnati to do the pool and dome work. Our new budget should arrive at the end of the week.
Land: The land at Orangepoint Commerce center is no longer under contract with us. Orange Township has shown little interest in bringing our project into their township. In fact, they have expressed that we would have a difficult time getting past administrative review in order to build Thus we have started the land search again. The pool will be located in Olentangy School District (this is a requirement for our loan). There are some possible sites that are still central to the district near Home Rd & 23. We are also speaking with a nearby township that has shown interest in our project.
What We Need
We have several needs that you and your neighbors could help with. Please read on.
Investment: We do still have our loan, however the underwriter would like to see us raise more community investment. To date we have community investment at about $70,000. We are seeking another immediate $50,000 in small investors and would like to meet with potential large investors.
What you can do: Please consider investing $2500 in the project. Your return on investment is greater than any CD you can find at a bank. In some instances you will see a better return than in the stock market. This year, we gave out $12,000 in fee credits to last years investors. This is a great way to invest in your community and get a little cash back in return.
Do you have a friend that likes to invest in businesses or make large donations to worthy causes? Please get us (the boosters and myself) in front of this friend. We would love to talk to anyone that can throw $25,000 and up into our project.
Donations of Goods
We are looking for a builder or builders that can donate work or goods on the office/locker room building portion of the project. We would need excavation, lumber, dry wall, fixtures, architect design, etc. If you know anyone interested in donating the cost of the entire building, please let them know we do have naming rights available to the facility.
Thank You
I want to take a moment to thank our investors and supporters. Without you, we would be dead in the water. There have been many times this summer & fall where I have been ready to sell the bubble and move on. Thank you for helping me to stay on task and push this project forward. With your continued support, we will see this through.
Thank You,

Thank You!
Tuesdays are our most challenging day and our Winter Schedule, which started yesterday, went very well. Your cooperation with remaining in designated parent areas has allowed us to accommodate all of our practice groups comfortably. Here are a few tips and reminders that will help everyone:
- Drop your swimmer(s) off when possible
- Remain in the designated parent area during practice
- Allow the coaches to coach during practice. If you need to speak with them, try to arrange a time via e-mail or catch them quickly (limit your time with coaches before or after practice so they are able to work with the next group)
- Allow the coaches to work through difficulties with your swimmer. Part of group activities is learning and gaining independence and confidence in themselves and others to "look out for them."
- Be sure to stay clear of the pace clocks. All groups are either using the clocks or developing this skill. This is a greater interference than you may realize, so please be conscious of where the clocks are and avoid those areas
- Please avoid the area at the shallow end of the pool (whiteboard) - this is reserved for coaches and all of the junk that they need to spread out during practice
- Remind your swimmers that the tiled seating area (north side) is for swimmer bags, towels, shoes, etc. We are using every bit of deck space!
Thank you again for your support of the team. We have had three very successful meets and the parents have been a huge part of that!

Winter Practice Schedule
Winter Practice Schedule
BEGINS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2
This Friday marks the start of the Ohio High School Swim Season. For us, this means that we start sharing our pool with Northland High School. Northland swims until 4:45 at Columbus North on weekdays. We have set up our schedule this year so that we will feel a minimum impact by this change. Our largest change is to solve a problem we already have - our Tuesday night crowding. This change will ease our crowding in the water, but will not ease our deck crowding. We are still asking parents to help the coaching staff keep all of their focus on the kids by dropping off for Tuesday practices. Please make note of the new Tuesday schedule:
Scarlet 1 & 2 4:30-6:30
Silver 2 4:45-6:30
Silver 1 6:00-7:00
Buckeye TOO (and select Buckeye 1's) 6:00-7:00
Senior 6:00-8:30
Please contact Coach Laurie immediately if this change prevents you from being able to attend a regularly scheduled practice.
The only other change due to the winter schedule impacts Seniors: Mondays and Wednesdays are 4:00-7:00
The new schedule has been updated on our team calendar and will be updated on our website by Thursday afternoon.

Inclement Weather Policy
On a side note, our club is private, meaning we are not governed by the typical liability of holding a practice that a public/school based club would have during poor road conditions. It is ultimately your choice to get on the road to drive to practice, so when the weather is bad we ask that you use your best judgement and do so only if you are comfortable. We never have repercussions or reprimand a swimmer for missing practice during poor road conditions.
Beggar's Night October 31
Unfortunately, we will be able to offer a make up for Small Group Practices. We do generally try to reschedule those when conflicts like this arise, but this week we cannot.

Laurie's crazy week
Team T-shirt Orders
So! Yours truly has finally gotten it together and figured out a t-shirt for the season. I was having extreme difficulty settling on something that captured how I felt about all the greatness going on in our program and the amazing loyalty we have from our families. Finally we have something - it is at the printer and should be to us in a week or so. They will not begin printing until next week, so parents can order shirts (kids get them as part of your fees). Just let me know what size you want, payment is due to the boosters on receipt of the shirt. This is a white 100% cotton pre-shrunk t-shirt with "Buckeye Proud" on the back and our team logo on the front left chest. Orders are due Tuesday morning.
