2015 Statistics

If you like statistics, you’ll find lots here.  Here’s an extract that shows how our club did in 2015.

National Records Summary

Statsman – Christian Berger has just posted the National Records summary for 2015.  Once again, we have the most relay records of any club in Canada!  This speaks to the depth of talent on our club, as several of the other teams in the Top Ten are national or provincial “super teams”, made up of members who aren’t with the same club and don’t train together.

MOST NATIONAL RECORDS AS AT 31 DEC 2015
TOTAL        RELAYS        
ETOB ON  82  EMSC AB  33  
VIC  BC  81  CFST BC  18 
CMSC AB  75  VIC  BC  16

World Records Summary

Two world records previously held by the club were broken in 2015.  However, we still hold one world record, set back in 2013:

120-159 Women 400 free SCM 4:03.01 Nepean MAY 13
CHOLYK Stephanie OSLAND Ceilidh MCGINNIS Gail MACWHIRTER Michelle

It’s worth noting that this is the fastest women’s 400 free relay across all masters age groups!

Congratulations to Wayne Strach!  He completed the English Channel channel crossing today in 17 hours and 15 minutes in 18 degree C (65 degree F) water without a wet suit.

He is now the oldest Canadian to have completed the swim.
