“Swimming for Life” 

Animals Prowl Again in Canby! 

By Charlie Helm 

Sunday February 12 th saw the OMS “Animals” again 

on the loose in Canby for the annual winter Animal 

Meet. The kids from the earlier age group meet 

fled in terror when the Master’s Animals swarmed into the 

Canby pool that afternoon. Another good turnout of brave 

(or is it crazy?) OMS swimmers arrived to accept the challenge 

of competing in the sprint, middle, and grand animal 

events. 

The U of O Duck masters team made another appearance 

in force at this event, although someone pointed out 

that Ducks really aren’t the scariest of animals on the deck. 

The older animals found that if you offer them cookies, 

they’re actually pretty tame and friendly. Once in the water 

though, the animal came out and they swam pretty hard. 

The few swimmers there with OSU connections did keep 

their taunting at a minimum and focused on the races and 

rivalry in the water. Although as a PSU and SOU alum, I 

always try to taunt, I mean encourage, everyone equally! 

As usual, the Sprint Animal category was the most 

popular and very competitive. Six women and twelve men 

did the full sprint schedule and when it was over, Britta 

Daubersmith and Michael Baele emerged as the sprint 

champions. In the Middle Animal category, there were just 

three women and four men who did the full animal schedule. 

Anna Kralovec and Andrew Naugle emerged as the 

champions for this division. In the Grand Animal category 

(these are the crazy people I mentioned in the beginning!), 

there were two women and three men who accepted the 

challenge for the distance animal events. Although few in 

numbers, these swimmers were very competitive with each 

other and when the pain was over, Natascha Mangan and 

Tim Waud were the Grand Animal Champions. As usual for 

this event, the hosts, volunteers, and officials were great 

and it was a fun afternoon of swimming in Canby.

Being a Meet Timer 

On March 10 th I was one of the timers at the THB Pentathlon meet. Some people 

may consider this particular volunteer task boring and monotonous. I, on the 

other hand, find it fun, interesting, challenging, and entertaining. I came up with 10 

ways to make timing an enjoyable and interesting opportunity. 

1. Get to know the timers around you particularly the timer sitting right next 

to you. If that person happens to be your spouse or best friend, think about 

sitting next to someone you don’t know or would like to get to know better. 

During the longer races, it’s a great time to get to learn more about them. 

2. Welcome swimmers to your lane offering encouragement. Have fun!!!! 

3. See if you can correctly pronounce the swimmers names. This can be a bit 

challenging when there is a new swimmer with an unusual name. 

4. Get to know a little something about the swimmers competing in the lane 

you’re timing (if they are interested in talking). During the Pentathlon, there 

was a female swimmer that informed me that it was her first meet and very 

first race ever. She had me cheering her throughout her race. 

5. Cheer for the swimmer competing in the lane your timing. I think we all enjoy 

hearing people cheering for us. 

6. Find something complementary to say to each swimmer in your lane that has 

completed their swim. Be sure to make the comment sincere. 

7. See if you can get the time on your stopwatch to match the time on the 

scoreboard. Between my fellow lane timer and me, I think it happened 1 or 2 

times. 

8. Be an unofficial stroke and turn judge. See if you can identify when a swimmer 

has committed a no-no in his/her stroke or turn. 

9. Those swimmers with a nice stroke try, to figure out what you need to do to 

improve your stroke so it can be as efficient. 

10. Those swimmers with a not-so-nice stroke try to figure out what you want to 

avoid with your stroke so it doesn’t look like that swimmer’s stroke. 

I’m sure there are plenty of other ways to make the job of timing more fun and 

entertaining. What are some ways you have found to pass the time? 

“People who feel good about themselves produce good results.”

Shoulder to Shoulder 

by Robert A. Schroeder 

Swimmers, goals, and the most powerful force on earth—friendly 

peer pressure—go well together. 

A few years ago, some swim buddies and I made a 

pact to compete in the 2040 Senior Games when I’m 83. 

Despite my last year, the goal remains. 

On Nov. 15, 2011 I underwent surgery on my left 

shoulder, just 14 months after massive rotator cuff and 

bicep tendon surgery on my right one. Though it’s only 

been six weeks since my second surgery, I was ready for 

it. Maybe my story will help others who are suffering from 

shoulder problems. 

I’m not a doctor; I’m a patient. My experience is not 

universal. So if you’ve got a nagging shoulder, or want to 

avoid it, start by reviewing all the great information provided 

in USMS publications (a list of articles I found helpful 

are linked below). Work and time may help you avoid my 

journey. 

Yet if you find yourself as I did about two years ago, 

with year-long chronic, unending shoulder pain that no 

amount of ice, ibuprofen, massage, physical therapy, chiropractic, 

cortisone or rest could control, here’s an outline of 

what to expect. It’s a long road, but keep this in mind: my 

right shoulder surgery went so well, I did it on my left. Full 

recovery can happen. 

As background, I’m a regular guy who’s been mostly 

active my whole life. Although I’ve been swimming consistently 

since my mid-20s, it wasn’t until joining the Minnesota 

Masters Swim Club in 2000 that I got serious with 

interval workouts, averaging 3500 yards, three mornings a 

week. On non-pool days my activity included other cardio 

and weights. 

But it wasn’t the swimming alone that landed me in 

two operating rooms. 

It turns out that a portion of the population develops 

a too-narrow space under the acromion (the bony top part 

at the end of the shoulder) for the proper movement of 

the tendons of the supraspinatus muscle. This muscle runs 

horizontally on the top of the scapula (shoulder blade) and 

under the arch of the scapula (acromion), joining with the 

other muscles of the shoulder blade to form a common 

tendon called the rotator cuff. When this muscle contracts 

it pulls on the tendons, which help lift the arm. 

The narrow-space condition, known as rotator cuff 

impingement syndrome, can lead to somewhat common 

tendon tears. In fact, the Wall Street Journal recently reported 

that more than 50 percent of people older than 60 

have partial or complete rotator cuff tears. The chances are 

most folks don’t know they have the problem because they 

don’t do what we do. Yet those with the impingement who 

rotate their arms under resistance, say 4,200 times a week 

for 10-plus years, will likely suffer sometime. 

Even before seeing the surgeon I had an MRI, which 

showed a 90-percent rotator cuff tear, along with a frayed 

bicep tendon—a common condition in the dominant arm 

for a tear of this size. What I learned at my first visit was 

that surgery was my only real option. Tendons simply do 

not heal without help and even if I gave up swimming, I’d 

likely lose full use of my right arm. 

There are two basic approaches to this surgery: open 

and arthroscopic. I’ve had them both. 

The large tendon tear on my right shoulder required a 

three-inch incision, running front to back, at the end of my 

shoulder above the upper arm. Through this opening the 

surgeon was able to sew together the torn supraspinatus 

tendon and reposition the frayed bicep tendon. Also, to 

prevent a later repeat tear of the supraspinatus tendon, the 

surgeon performed a subacromial decompression—essentially 

shaving the underside of the acromial bone to allow 

freer movement of the muscle. 

With identical symptoms on my left shoulder, an MRI a 

year after the first surgery revealed a rotator cuff tear about 

half the size of the one on the right with no bicep tendon 

deterioration. This smaller tear allowed for less invasive, 

but technically tough arthroscopic surgery, requiring five 

small incisions to allow the instruments access for tendon 

repair and the subacromial decompression. 

Though the surgeries are different, the pre- and postop 

conditions are similar.

Shake and Swim with “Bake” 

KICK IT 

Coach Dennis Baker 

I have written many times about how important the 

kick is in swimming. Whether you are a pool racer, open 

water or fitness swimmer, practicing kicking is very important! 

Let’s look at why this is true and some tips to help 

you with your legs. 

1. Even if you don’t kick a lot in your races you still 

need to kick in practice. Kicking in practice elevates 

your heart rate in a different way than just 

swimming. It is a separate energy system to be 

used. When racing, this will prove to be very valuable 

as you fatigue throughout the swim. 

2. Kick up and down, not just down. The bottom flat 

part of your foot is just as valuable as the top part 

of your foot. You will get double the propulsion if 

you kick up and down not just down. 

3. Kicking in practice helps stretch crucial ligaments 

in your legs to help them float and ride the water 

better. As we age or if we do a lot of running we 

lose flex or the snap in our legs. Stiffness in the 

ankle and shin tendons causes the sinking leg 

syndrome. Loose flexible legs float and are more 

fluid through the water. 

4. How can we help our legs float? Stretch ankles 

and shins more and just plain kick more. Mix up 

your kicking with the board and without. With the 

board you use your abdominals and thighs more. 

Without the board you use your hamstrings more. 

Try some vertical kicking with your hands straight 

up in the air and see how long you can keep your 

head out of the water. Start off with short increments 

and try to add more seconds as you go. 

Think about these reasons your kick is important and 

try the tips and you will be well on your way to “kicking it”. 

I have a friend and former student who 

lives in Phoenix, AZ, and who took up swimming 

just a few years ago. She never swam in high 

school or college and only in the past five years 

learned butterfly, yet she consistently goes 400 

IMs and 200 flys in meets. I think she is a wonderment! 

When I approached her via email about swimming 

the Hour Swim this year, she was enthusiastic and, since 

she is on the board of the local swim group, she brought 

the idea up at a practice. She reported back to me, everyone 

wanted to swim the Hour, but no one wanted to time 

it. 

For heaven’s sake, meets or events don’t get held 

without timers and officials! 

I’m not a big one for timing at local USS or high 

school meets (I did that once or twice), but I timed nine 

people myself on six separate days for the Hour this year. If 

Swim Bits/Timing 

by Ralph Mohr 

Quid 

pro 

quo 

I didn’t do it, they would not be timed. 

It’s the same thing for our meets. If timers 

are not sitting behind the blocks for several hours, 

getting wet, getting hungry, getting butt sore, our 

meet swims are just exercise, another workout. 

The same goes for starters, stroke and turn judges, 

computer wizards, and referees. 

The next time you go to a meet, thank your timers 

and other officials. The next time you want to swim a postal 

event, bring your timer a chair, blanket (we’re outdoors!), 

tea/coffee, goodies, as well as the stop watch, heat sheet 

and pencil. 

The next time there is a postal event, volunteer 

to time someone else, as well as swim one. Quid pro quo as 

George H.W. Bush used to say. 

You can also turn timing a 10K into a social party, 

waiting for the last slow 70 year old to finish. Most Masters 

swimmers don’t need much of an excuse to party anyway.


Long Distance 

Swimming 

Coach Bob Bruce 

The Oregon LMSC had another fine performance 

improvement in the 2012 USMS One-Hour Postal National 

Championships, held in January in your local pool. Our 

overall participation was strong, there were lots of good 

swims, and two Oregon Clubs picked up third place finishes 

in their respective size divisions in the club standings. 

Oregon Participation summary: 

239 Oregon-registered swimmers entered the event, 

down a bit from last year but still pretty good. 

121 women & 118 men swam and entered, our most 

even gender distribution ever. 

15 Oregon local teams were represented. Well done, 

teams! However, still missing a few…. 

Congratulations to… 

Our ONE individual National Champion (USMS Long 

Distance All-American)—Dave Radcliff, repeat champion 

for the third consecutive year; 

Our TWO individual runners-up—Tom Landis and 

Charles Bushey; 

Our TWO individual third place finisher—Pat Hunt and 

Hardy Lussier; 

Our SEVEN other individual swimmers who made the 

top ten. 

Our THREE relay team National Champions (USMS 

Long Distance Relay All-Americans); 

Our TWO relay team runners-up; 

Our ONE relay team third place finisher; 

Our THIRTEEN other relay teams who made the top six. 

Our FIVE Oregon Individual Record breakers—Mary 

Sweat, Geri Kawabata, Pat Hunt, Hardy Lussier, and Charles 

Bushey; 

Our TWO relay teams that smashed Oregon One-Hour 

Relay Records; 

Our TWO swimmers, Mary Sweat (4745 yards) and Hardy 

Lussier (5515 yards), who topped the Oregon women’s 

and men’s categories respectively; 

Our 32 swimmers whose performances qualified or 

moved them up on the Oregon All-Time Top Twelve list for 

the One-Hour Swim. This has become a most challenging 

list to make; 

Our Oregon Club, who placed THIRD in the Extra-Large 

Club category with 200 swimmers, repeating our placement 

from last year; 

Our Southwest Washington Masters Club, who placed 

THIRD in the Medium Club category with 39 swimmers, a 

big jump upwards from last year; 

Everyone who participated! 

There’s a bonus—239 Oregon-registered swimmers 

have completed the first of the three legs of the Oregon 

Postal Participation Award. These swimmers just have to 

swim & enter both the 5 or 10-km postal and the 3000or 

6000-yard postal later this year to snag this award. You’ve 

seen the patches, recently sent for all former award winners—now 

you can earn your own. Of course, the truly 

compulsive swimmers (like myself) plan to complete all 

four remaining postal swims this year to earn the national 

participation award. 

Where do we go from here? Keep on swimming—the 

essence of this event is in the doing of it. 

Look for the full 2012 Oregon LMSC results in this 

Aqua Master, beginning below. 

Good luck and good swimming!

OFF THE BLOCK 

Continued from page 3 

A general anesthetic caused a deep sleep for the 90+ 

minute surgery, after which I awoke heavily medicated 

with a narcotic, along with an anti-inflammatory and 

ice. A pain pump was also installed attached to a small 

tube placed under the skin leading to the surgery area to 

provide a self-controlled local anesthetic over the next two 

days. 

The 24-72 hours post-op was the toughest because of 

limited mobility, narcotics and a new, short-lived lifestyle. 

Pain management is a balancing act that’s different 

for everyone. For me, the narcotic provided miraculous 

pain relief but also slowed down other bodily systems, if 

you know what I mean. So after 36 hours I stopped the 

narcotics and switched to over-the-counter pain reducers 

to eliminate side effects. 

During the first week post-op I found myself sleeping 

more, likely because of the trauma and need for energy to 

repair tissue. Sleeping in a partially reclined position with 

pillows under my arm/shoulder made things more comfortable, 

but it still wasn’t easy. 

In the days, weeks, and months after surgery, the right 

shoulder rehab took a lot of time and patience – something 

that’s difficult for active folks. Though progress was 

literally measured in millimeters, every day saw improvement 

as I followed the medical professional’s directions 

religiously. 

My right arm was in a sling for six weeks to ensure 

initial adequate healing, while the left was only four weeks 

because it was less invasive and did not require bicep tendon 

repair. In both cases, there were lifestyle changes and 

more time needed to do almost everything. Putting on a 

sock with one hand, and other things, take concentration 

but are not impossible. Little things like an electric razor 

and those harp-like dental floss things helped a lot, but the 

best thing was having support at home. 

Let’s face it; most swimmers are accustomed to a 

daily dose of activity. Unfortunately the first months of 

recovery meant less upper body action to ensure proper 

healing and avoid the risk of injury. But there’s no excuse 

to be entirely inactive. The mental and physical benefits of 

responsible activity count as much after surgery as they do 

normally. So two days after surgery I walked for an hour, 

following the next day with careful lower body cardio to 

get my heart rate up, and never looked back. 

Professionally directed physical therapy was critical 

to the full recovery of my right shoulder. It began soon 

after the sling came off and lasted about six months, with 

shorter interval appointments in the beginning and a 

month between the last two sessions. The initial work 

involved passively and incrementally moving my arm and 

shoulder, using my good arm to assist. This evolved to an 

unaided increase in the range of motion, measuring and 

recording progress in millimeters along the way. As full 

range of motion came back, I began a series of strength 

training exercises specifically designed for the complex of 

muscles surrounding the shoulder. 

With progress and doctor approval, I got back in the 

pool five weeks after surgery simply to allow my arm to 

float. Just being in the water and smelling chlorine was 

a lift and there’s little better than water therapy for any 

injury. 

At about four months, workouts were solely kicking 

(arms at the side) just to regain the feel of the water. Six 

months post-op and as strength came back, so did sculling, 

kicking with arms outreached, followed by breaststroke, 

backstroke and finally, freestyle. Nine months after 

surgery, I was back to swimming 2,500 yards, two to three 

days a week and at 10 months had completed several 1- 

and 2-mile open water swims. 

Chances are most Masters swimmers occasionally 

experience shoulder problems. If or when it happens, it’s 

likely conservative treatment can keep it in check. But if 

surgery is on the horizon, it’s good to know what to expect. 

Success will come with good information, experienced 

professional help, patience, encouragement from fellow 

swimmers and goal setting.

My Prescription for Winter Blues and Indoor Swimming: 

Swim Vacation in the British Virgin Islands 

by Jamie Proffitt, MD 

I began researching swim vacations after completing my open water summer season 2011, and dreading the upcoming 

winter training season. I don’t know if it’s the flip turns, perpetual darkness or black lines on the bottom of the pool, 

but usually I find it hard to stay motivated in the winter. I probably have a little seasonal affective disorder. I had read 

about the different swim vacations in an article online and began by researching each of them on the internet. I took 

time to read about each of the different swim vacations from their websites. I read blogs, looked at pictures and investigated 

the different trips that each offered. I chose swimvacation.com because of their detailed website, the bios on each 

of the swim guides, pictures and the descriptive blogs on their website. I encourage everyone to do their own research, 

but you can’t go wrong with swimvacation.com 

Tortola, BVI arrival and the dolphin swim 

I arrived in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, Friday evening 1 ½ 

days before the swim vacation started. There is nothing like stepping 

off of the plane, breathing in the Caribbean air and feeling all 

of your stresses and worries evaporate. Arriving early allowed me 

time to recover from jet lag and ease into the vacation. I chose to 

stay at the Prospect Reef Hotel which had both a 6 lane 25 meter 

pool and an ocean pool (in a protected cove). I went to bed that 

night and woke up in time to get some early morning swims in 

both the 25 meter pool and the ocean pool. Naturally I could feel 

the difference in the buoyancy of the ocean vs. the indoor pool 

and became more excited thinking about the upcoming week of 

swims. I had planned a swim with the dolphins that Saturday afternoon 

which was located at the resort. It was a wonderful experience 

which included swimming and dancing with dolphins, and a 

dorsal tow. But my absolute favorite was the foot push where 2 of 

the dolphins push each of your feet and you fly through the water 

like aquaman. 

Fellow vacationers, our swim guides and the 

Promenade 

On Sunday we all arrived at the marina and were greeted by 

our guides. They introduced us to the entire group. Our 2 swimming 

guides were Heather and Will. Heather is a professional 

photographer, marine naturalist and former college swimmer. 

With Heather along you don’t need to bring a camera because she 

captures every moment beautifully and shares the photos with 

you after the trip. Will is also a former college swimmer who has 

coached swimmers, triathletes, and runners. He is a master stroke 

technician who was constantly plotting our swims and analyzing 

our strokes. In our group of swim vacationers there were 3 repeat 

customers (Ken and Alison from NY, Paul from Maryland), a couple 

from Switzerland (Judy and Bob), me and Will’s girlfriend Megan. 

We all walked together to the Promenade (our floating hotel for 

the next 6 nights) and immediately felt a bond. The Promenade 

is a 65 foot schooner-rigged trimaran, 35-ft wide with spacious 

sleeping quarters/rooms and bathrooms. There is a salon/galley


where most of us congregated, and a roomy cockpit with permanent 

awning/shading where we ate our meals. With 3 hulls, 

the Promenade is a very smooth ride even in choppy waters. Our 

captain, Bazza and his wife Kerry (co-captain and cook), were 

both friendly and accommodating. On this trip we also had 

the pleasure of Lisa joining us. She and her husband normally 

chartered the ship the half of the year that Bazza and Kerry didn’t. 

The meals were fantastic. Typically we would have coffee and a 

light breakfast before our morning swim. Our morning swim was 

followed by a made-to-order breakfast, and I usually opted for an 

omelet and pancakes. We would relax and either motor or sail 

to our next destination where we would have a light but filling 

lunch. In between swims we would go snorkeling, scuba diving 

or just sleep and relax on the boat. After our afternoon swim 

we were always treated to a gourmet meal served in the cockpit 

with tablecloth and linens. During dinner we often reflected on 

the wildlife we encountered and the fantastic swims we had just 

completed. Although most of us came to swim and improve our 

stroke there were plenty of activities between, during and after 

the swims. Many of us went scuba diving as there were multiple 

scuba instructors on board. In addition we went snorkeling, jogging, 

hiking and a few went water skiing. But if you wanted to just 

relax in the sun, sleep on the deck, read a book; you were able to 

do whatever you wanted. After dinner we would often lay on the 

trampolines at the front of the boat looking up at the stars relaxing 

from a hard day’s work. A few nights we blasted some dance 

music and everyone danced on deck. 

The wildlife 

The British Virgin Islands are just beautiful as is most of the 

Caribbean, but I can honestly say the water and wildlife in the British 

Virgin Islands has become my new favorite. Somewhat unique 

to the British Virgin Islands is that there are really very few dangers 

from wildlife. After our first swim Sunday afternoon, Heather 

gave us a slide show of the wildlife we should expect to see and 

what to avoid. The only 2 types of wildlife that we really needed 

to avoid were sea urchins and fire coral. What was most amazing 

to me was the abundance of wildlife on every swim. You would 

see schools of fish darting in and out of the spectacular coral. At 

times you would forget that you were actually swimming and had 

covered several miles. We also saw lobsters, sea turtles, sting rays, 

eagle rays and barracudas during most every swim. There were 

several schools of squid and even a huge grouper on our dive at 

the wreck of the Rhone. There is so much wildlife that at times you 

forget to breathe while you are swimming. As a matter of fact I 

often found myself doing hypoxic swims because I was breathing 

about every 7-9 strokes. My advice if you choose to go on this trip 

is to make sure you practice bilateral breathing and also do some 

hypoxic sets; because you don’t want to miss anything. 

The swims 

In general we split into 2 groups based on skill level and the 

distance you wanted to swim. Each of the groups was accompanied 

by a swim guide. Our swim guides actually were in there 

swimming with us which is unique to swimvacation vs. other swim 

vacations and very cool. Several distances and courses were of-


fered for each of the swims with most ranging from 1-3 miles per 

swim. There was always an escort dinghy that accompanied us on 

all of our swims. There was never any pressure to go beyond your 

comfort zone and if you wanted to stop swimming at some point, 

you just jumped on the dinghy. Also unique to swim vacation 

was the underwater stroke analysis. Our second night on the boat 

we watched videos of Ian Thorpe and Michael Phelps on the flat 

screen TV in the salon. Will analyzed each of their strokes in slow 

motion preparing us for our own analysis. The following morning 

after we had completed our swim, we were each videotaped 

underwater by Heather. Later that night Will analyzed each of our 

swim strokes individually, pointing out parts of our stroke where 

we could improve on efficiency. In addition to fun and challenging 

daily swims, we also practiced drills in the ocean. There were 

stroke drills, kicking drills, beach starts and finishes and sighting 

drills. Not only did we have the initial underwater stroke analysis, 

2 days later after practicing our drills, we had a repeat videotaping. 

It was amazing to see the improvement that each of us had made 

as our strokes were more efficient and I for one definitely was 

stronger and faster in the water. 

My favorite day 

Rather than describe each of the swims, I thought I would 

instead describe my favorite day of the swim vacation. We woke 

up that morning at the Baths at Virgin Gorda. The Baths are just 

spectacular, there are boulders everywhere on fine, white sandy 

beaches and also in the bright blue ocean. It was like they were 

literally dropped from the sky. We swam and maneuvered through 

boulders and crevasses with wildlife below us. We even experienced 

natures own water slide at one point. The waves would 

literally push us through a narrow channel between boulders — 

what a blast. We swam about 2 miles that morning. It wasn’t a 

super challenging swim, but instead was a swim to appreciate all 

that Mother Nature had to offer. We had breakfast and headed 

back to Virgin Gorda where we walked among the boulders. After 

a great lunch we motored to Guana Island for our afternoon 

swim. The Guana Island swim is known to be a challenging swim 

because of currents, waves and changing conditions. It is a 3 ½ 

mile swim. Because some people were tired and because of the 

potentially challenging swim, only 3 of us and our 2 guides decided 

to go for it. Everyone else decided to either stay on the Promenade 

or ride in the dinghy as both were accompanying us on 

this swim. We jumped off the boat at a place called Monkey Point 

and immediately I knew this was going to be a challenging swim. 

The current was pushing us back in an opposite direction of our 

swim. Myself, Will and Alison (the “fast” group) started swimming 

and Heather and Paul joined in behind us. Although the current 

was strong we could tell we were making progress by watching 

the coral and wildlife below us pass by. We made it through the 

current and into our first bay which was a good ½-¾ mile across. 

I decided to push the pace because the water was deep and you 

couldn’t see the bottom. Will and Alison were not very happy with 

me at this point! We stopped to gather our bearings, and looking 

ahead at our next point we realized that the waves and swells had 

picked up. We knew we had to power through and that’s exactly 

what we did. We made it around the point and into Muskmellon


Bay which was our final destination. Looking ahead we still had 

1 ½-2 miles of swimming around the bay left. The remainder of 

the swim was tough, with swells, waves and more current; but we 

powered through. Guana Island, with its stark rock formations and 

an abundance of wildlife, was always to our right and the Promenade 

and accompanying dinghy to our left. About 1hr and 10 

minutes (3 miles) into our swim we reached the furthest point in 

Muskmellon Bay exhausted. But just as our spirits were beginning 

to waiver Mother Nature once again gave us a lift when an eagle 

ray, with accompanying remora, was spotted swimming below us. 

With our spirits lifted the 3 of us pushed the pace for the final ½ 

mile to reach the Promenade now anchored in the middle of the 

bay. We rinsed off and stood on deck cheering Paul and Heather 

as they finished. We all hugged and gave each other high 5s. It 

was a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. It wasn’t the longest 

swim I’ve ever done, but it was by far the most challenging. But 

what made this swim unique is that even though 4 of the other 

vacationers didn’t complete the swim they watched, cheered and 

gave us encouragement during the entire swim. After completing 

the Guana swim we all felt an even closer bond. After a filling 

gourmet dinner, we were all surprised to look out on the water 

and see it glowing. Yep, Mother Nature again surprised us and 

we were treated to bioluminescence that night. Like a sea full of 

stars! To complete the night we all relaxed on the trampolines and 

watched the Geminid meteor shower. Shooting stars everywhere 

with the Milky Way in plain sight. What a day, what a night, what 

a swim vacation! Every swim is memorable on a swim vacation. 

From the channel swim that Black Beards mutinous pirates 

couldn’t complete, to the 3-bay swim at Peter Island, and countless 

others. Also our group set a new swimvacation.com record — 20 

miles in 5 days. I was sad to say goodbye to my 8 new friends at 

the end of the week. Believe it or not, we all still stay in touch with 

updates on our current endeavors. 

I left BVI feeling rejuvenated and recharged with a more efficient 

stroke. My only regret is that it didn’t last 2 weeks — maybe 

in the future?

Lavelle Maureen 

Stoinoff 

January 2, 1933 — March 7, 2012 

Lavelle Maureen Stoinoff, 79, of Portland, passed away 

on Wednesday, March 7, at Hopewell House Hospice, after 

a long battle with cancer. 

Michael Baele and Britta Daubersmith 

Sprint Distance Champs — Canby Animal Meet 

Lavelle was born in Portland to 

Andy and Lavelle Flannery in 1933. 

She attended Beaverton High 

School and studied nursing at Portland 

State University. She married 

Dr. Harry P. Stoinoff on November 

25, 1953 and raised their family in 

Eastmoreland. 

Lavelle was a top swimmer whose career spanned decades. 

She began swimming in 1945 at the age of 12 and 

competed until 1953. She joined the Master Swimming 

program at age 40 in 1979 and started to compete again. 

As a Master Swimmer, she competed until 2008 achieving 

79 world and 53 national records, many of which she still 

holds to this day. She was inducted into both the Oregon 

Sports Hall of Fame in 2000 and the International Sports 

Hall of Fame. 

Lavelle also enjoyed hiking, running, skiing, golf and 

gardening. Lavelle will be remembered for her loving, 

engaging and compassionate spirit. She truly cared for 

others and always gave time to help those in need. Her 

caring and loving spirit was a gift to those who were lucky 

enough to be touched by her love. 

Andrew Naugle and Anna Kralovec 

Middle Distance Champs — Canby Animal Meet 

Lavelle is survived by her husband Harry of 58 years; 

three children, Phillip Stoinoff, Dr. Susan Smith and Betsy 

Stoinoff-Leyva, all of Portland. Lavelle enjoyed spending 

family time with her six grandchildren, Harrison Leyva, Phillip 

Stoinoff, Devin, Stefan, Alexandra and Marina Smith. 

In honor of her Irish heritage, a celebration of life was 

held at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club on St. Patrick’s 

Day, Saturday, March 17, 2012 at 2 p.m. 

Steve Darnell has done some research to come up with 

Lavelle’s records. When he volunteered to do this, he had 

no idea what he was getting into! It was a much larger job 

than he had anticipated; Lavelle was a top swimmer, as 

you can see by all the records she holds. USMS didn’t keep 

records as early as Lavelle was setting records. 

The next page shows some of her many records.

Virginia Pietz Van Rossen 

February 28, 1933 — March 6, 2012 

Virginia Van Rossen, 79, of Springfield passed away on 

Tuesday, March 6 of cancer. 

Virginia was born in Portland to John and Taimi 

Bjorklund Pietz. She married Donald P. Van Rossen in 1974 

in Eugene. Virginia received her Master’s Degree in physical 

education from the University of Oregon. She had a 16 

year long career coaching and teaching swimming for the 

University with her husband, Donald. Virginia was a widely 

respected presence in Oregon aquatics. Survivors include 

her husband; five sons, Brett Arvidson, Brad Arvidson, Peter 

Van Rossen, Daniel Van Rossen and Charles Van Rossen; and 

one grandchild. 

A celebration of life was held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, 

March 14, at Buell Funeral Chapel in Springfield.


T-Hills Pentathlon 

Popular Again 

by Charlie Helm 

The Tualatin Hills Barracudas hosted the popular Pentathlon meet 

March 10 th with just over 120 swimmers signing up for this unique event. 

Not all the swimmers chose to do the full pentathlon schedule of events, 

but those who did definitely got a good workout for their efforts! The 

volunteers, hosts, and officials were great and Dave Radcliff was really 

rocking as the PA announcer all day. 

There were four new Pentathlon records set for this 

meet, but what really made the biggest impression on 

swimmers and spectators alike was watching veteran OMS 

member Elfie Stevenin compete in and finish all five of her 

sprint pentathlon events at age 90! Something I hope our 

large group of 18-24 year olds in attendance noted-you 

really can swim and compete for life. Elfie’s efforts also got 

her a new Pentathlon record plus new Oregon and Zone 

records for the 50 fly for her age group. All told, there were 

4 swimmers who did all five of the Distance Pentathlon 

events, 15 who completed the Mid-distance Pentathlon, 

and 40 who completed the Sprint Pentathlon schedule. A 

lot of other swimmers did a pick and choose among the 

events rather than doing the full pentathlon schedule. A 

lot of these swimmers were heard to be “fine tuning” their 

events in preparation for the Association Championships 

next month. 

To conclude the meet, there was a very exciting duel 

in the 400 IM final between Karissa DeRousseau from the 

DUCK Masters and Nick Wood of Oregon Masters. With the 

enthusiastic crowd cheering them on, a close race ended 

with Nick edging out Karissa at the wall. Karissa’s efforts 

did get her the new Oregon and Zone records for her 18- 

24 age group in the event.
