UCT SSI Swimming Study - Need more participants

[Disylizzy]

Hi Guys and Gals,

 

I've been participating in a UCT/Sports Science Institute swimming study on whether you are a morning or evening person and what affect that has on your training and performance. It's pretty interesting, and time commital for it is minimal. But in order for them to complete the study they need more swimmers in the Cape Town area. Only thing they require is that you swim at least 3 times a week and have been for the last 8 weeks or more.

 

It consists of 3 visits. First is an introductory meeting and they take a blood sample to perform a DNA analysis. And then the 2nd and 3rd "visits" you need to swim 600m warm up with a 200m time trial. One in the morning and one in the evening.

 

Please let me know if you may be interested or know of anyone that may be and I'll get you in touch with the people leading the study.

 

Thanks!

I would help out if you were in durbs...

if you need active swimmers try contacting Cape Town Master or Cape Town Dolphins.

 

Get to their training sessions and try do it before or during.

Thanks for the info, I am with CT Masters. And from my understanding the WP Master's chair sent the e-mail out to everyone, ie all the different clubs. But with Nationals and a few other galas that we've had not too many people want to participate at the moment.

I would be very interested! and potentially have another person as well. PM more details please

Let me know when they need people for near-drowning studies, I grew up in the Karoo and still swim like that. My kids started to outswim me when they were10 years old, and they love making fun of my technique.

My swim coach just moved up to GP, not sure where though, but she's awesome. I can find out where if you'd like.
