  • Canoe Rescue Training Recovery and Re-Entry During COVID-19 Pandemic
    Canoe Rescue Training Recovery and Re-entry during COVID-19 Pandemic Recommendations Submitted to Paddle Canada. Charles Burchill, Paul Shipman, Donna Kurt, Priscilla Haskin, Brian Johnston, Eric Gyselman Introduction Paddle Canada has provided information on running courses during the COVID-19 pandemic period which have been outlined on the Paddle Canada website. The typical techniques used for canoe ​ ​ rescues increase the likelihood of close contact and have not been well addressed in the canoeing program or Paddle Canada COVID-19 recommendations. Completing rescues is a critical canoeing skill even during this time, this document provides some additional information that might be helpful in the training of canoe rescues while minimizing proximity and contact. Most of the recommendations noted in this document are already practiced with regards to skills development and safety, but implementation may take some additional time and considerations. The skills outlined are consistent with the Paddle Canada Lake and Moving Water programs. This document is specific to canoe rescues (recovery and re-entry); there is already direction with regard to running overall courses during the COVID-19 pandemic period including: health assessment, location, physical distance, disinfection of equipment, and use of PPE. This document and associated material are specific to the modification and considerations related to canoe rescues. The end goal is to make the rescue more efficient and, in COVID-19 times, maintain physical distance. Considerations – Risk of exposure to the virus SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, while executing a rescue - mitigation strategies (distancing, masks, gloves, sanitizer, other PPE). If the risk is high then the course will not run, or participants that are high risk (e.g.

  • Helpful Terminology for Masters Swimmers
    Fitness & Recreation Center bu.edu/fitrec | (617) 358-3750 Helpful Terminology for Masters Swimmers Many swimming terms are universal and some specific to BUMS. Here are some you might hear on deck. If you are new to swimming or BUMS, familiarize yourself with these terms and feel free to ask the coaches for clarification. Interval. Time to complete a swim of a certain distance. Rest time is included in the interval and varies in duration depending on the specific aims of the set. i.e., 4 x 200 on 3:00. This means that you have 3 minutes to complete 200 yards before you begin the next one. You push off to begin swim #2 at exactly 3:00, etc. Nearly all sets are done on either an interval or rest interval. Rest Interval (abr. RI). Rest time after a swim of a certain distance. i.e., 4 x 200 on 10s RI. This means that after you complete the first 200, you immediately look at the pace clock and begin the second 200 exactly 10 seconds later. If you touch the wall at 2:53, you push off for the next swim at 3:03. Nearly all sets are done on either an interval or rest interval. Base Interval (abr. Base or B). This term is used for freestyle repetitions of 100 yards unless otherwise specified. It is the interval at which you can swim a sustained aerobic effort for a prolonged distance 1000-2000 yards. It is not necessarily the fastest interval you can make, but one which challenges you while allowing you to remain in control of your swims.
