There were questiions about whether the coin had two heads, but in the end, the coin toss for Swimming Relays this summer came up medley more often than not. The relays for 11/12 and older age groups at Big Meet and Time Trials are decided before the season begins by the toss of a coin. That happened this evening at the Swim Coaches meeting. Here are the results:

Girls 11/12 Relay: Medley
Boys 11/112 Relay: Medley
Girls 13/14 Relay: Medley
Boys 13/14 Relay: Medley
Girls Open Relay: Medley
Boys Open Relay: Freestyle

The 10 and under category relays are always Freestyle.

The 2009 Diving Schedule is now online on the Diving Results page.

If you're hosting Time Trials, Big Meet, Pre-Junior Synchro, A or B Prelim Synchros or Junior or Senior Synchro finals, then you should be reading the Finals Handbooks for your discipline right now. You'll find these Handbooks in the Tools / Finals Handbooks area.
For Time Trials and Big meet, download the Big Meet Finals Handbook.
For all Synchro events, download the Synchro Finals Handbook.
Talk to your respective VP's if you have any questions on these events.

The draws for Synchro for Pre-Junior, A Prelims and B Prelims are now complete. You'll find them on the Synchro Schedule and Results page.

We've done a number of updates on the site today. In particular you'll find an updated copy of the NAA Constitution for 2009 as well as updates to blank out the current year's results pages (last year's are now in the historical records) and the 2009 Swim schedule is now available. Further updates will be coming out almost every day for the next week or so.

Once again this year we will be training diving judges at the Pointe Claire Pool. No prior experience is required and the training is a one-time, one-session exercise that's a lot of fun.

The diving clinic is Monday, June 22nd from 7pm to 9pm in the East Concession room of the Bob Birnie Arena in Pointe-Claire. When entering the arena, the east concession room is immediately to the left of the main lobby. The arena is adjacent to the Malcolm Knox Aquatic Centre in Pointe Claire.

We encourage every NAA pool to send one parent or interested person to the clinic this year. For more informaiton contact Kaila Freeman at: kaila_freeman@hotmail.com.

The 16th Annual Forest Village 12 & Under Waterpolo Tournament will be held July 11-12, 2009 at Forest Village. You'll find the information for registering in this email.
