- Swimmers get psyched up

TERRACE BLUEBACKS’ coach

Mike Carlyle hopes this
weekend’s Pizza Hut Invitational
will help his swimmers break a
psychological barrier.

“We've noticed at the earlier
meets and the provincials we're
really good at the sprints,’” he ex-
plained, ‘But the kids are still a
litle uncomfortable with longer
distances.’?

So the host club is going to hold
.._ 400m events. only.on lhe opening

_ Friday evening session.

»<Carlyle said the idea was to
‘ show the swimmers the 200m
- was Still a sprint event, just a

longer one.

Starting out with the longer

haul- should help break the

psychological barrier some have
with the 200m Butterfly in partic-
ular.

. After doing the stroke over
400m, the middle distance will
“not be so intimidating.

/ Te the experiment works, we'll
have done something really im-
portant for those kids,”’ he said.

-Not that sprints will be ignored
in the meet. Carlyle said the
-Bluebacks plan to race 50m in
each stroke rather than limiting it
to freestyle.

“In. the case of the younger
swimmers where it’s too early lo
get into specialization, they'll

~ race in 100m, 200m and 400m in-
dividual medleys.

With Prince George expected to
. bring in 40-45 racers, Carlyle said
_ the extra competition should give

_ the Bluebacks a good push.

As. final preparalions were
being made for lhe meet, Carlyle
emphasized the importance of
sponsor support, both big and
small.

With pool rentai costs af ap-
“proximately $650 plus the ex-
pense of purchasing medals and
‘ribbons, ‘‘it’s hard to do without
them,’’ he added.

Two weeks after their own
meet, the Blucbacks will be off to
Prince George and the following
weekend sees the big Edmonton

_. Keyano competition.
~That last- meet not only draws
swimmers from the United States

_-and occasionally even Europe, it
also gives Terrace swimmers an

- opportunity. to compete in a 50m
pool. —
