Waterpolo: We've got your H2O Polo!

I know it's late in coming, but here are the Waterpolo standings and the Playoff results for Waterpolo on the 2010 Waterpolo results page.

We'll have the Finals schedule posted soon.

Synchro: Pre Junior Synchro Finals Results

Pre Junior Synchro Finals Results are in!  If there was a score for the cuteness factor, every team would have scored straight 10's but - alas, there must be a winner.  This year's champions are the host pool Sunnybrooke who put on a wonderful and well attended event.  Pictures will be on the site shortly but in the meantime, enjoy the results and congratulations to all the young athletes and their coaches.  The results are on the 2010 Synchro results page.

Swimming: Time Trials updates

We continue to update the Time Trial data as we get errors corrected and data reviewed.  We apologize to those who may have accessed the site while data was being yesterday and only got a page or two of data instead of the whole file.  The results have been updated again and you should be able to access again the more up to date complete results. 

Don't worry, the hamsters are running the wheel as fast as is possible in the background!

Swimming: Time Trial results are ready to review

I know you've been waiting.  Well, here they are!  The A, B and C combined Time Trials results are on the 2010 Time Trials results page.  It's shaping up to be one of the closest Big Meets in years and many people will have their calculators out to see who will be in and who will score big in this year's annual challenge.

Congratulations to all our athletes who participated in Time Trials.

If you find errors in the results, please contact the person who managed your Time Trial or Kayleigh Donovan.

Synchro: Congratulations to Jaqueline Simoneau, from Glenmore to the World

One of our NAA athletes, who got her start at Glenmore has had the fortunate chance to be part of the Canadian National 13-15 team for the past two years has returned from the Comen Cup Chania, Crete Greece ( the most prestigous competition for this age category in synchronized swimming). Jacqueline Simoneau represented Canada in Solo, Duet, Team and figures.

Jacqueline won the gold medal for her Solo (placing herself ahead of the Russians), 2nd in her Duet, 3rd in figures and the Team placed 4th.

Congrulations Jacqueline!

Swimming: It's Time to Trial (Swim Time Trials that is)

It's Time Trials day in the NAA. In the A, B and C divsion, our young athletes are competing against the clock for the honor of a chance to compete next week in the Big Meet. The combined results will be posted right here on the website on Sunday (Aug 8th) in the afternoon.

Webmaster: Swim meet updates

There are several updates in the 2010 Swimming results to reflect errors and missing data.  Good luck to all the athletes in the Time Trials.

Swimming: Time to move from the dual meet competition to Time Trials and the Big Meet!

Another incredible summer of competitive swimming is almost complete and our young athletes have inspired us all with their performances. 

As we do every year, we now shift from the dual meet phase of the summer competition to the finals phase.  This will change how our swim teams will function for the next couple of weeks.  So far, each of the competitions of the NAA swim teams has been against only one other pool in the A, B or C division.  These meets are organized to allow for the maximum participation possible.  This Saturday, August 7th at all 19 NAA pools will participate in Time Trials.  In this event, each pool will try to qualify as many swimmers as possible for the Championship Big Meet.  They'll need to do this not only the other pools in their division but against all 19 NAA association pools.  These Time Trials a preliminary competition which is organized so the NAA can determine the fastest 12 swimmers for each event in each age group.  These 12 swimmers will compete in the NAA Championship Big Meet which will be held at Briarwood pool this year on Saturday August 14th. 

For the coaches, strategy for this phase of the summer competition has been going on since before the dual meet season even started!  During the Time Trials, each pool can put a maximum of only 2 per age-category in each event and, with the exception of the 15 and over “Open” category, each swimmer can swim a maximum of 2 personal events and 1 relay.  Organizing the team to put the optimum swimmers into the optimum events is a challenging task.  To do this, the coaches must consider a variety of factors including the swimmer’s best times so far during the summer, the speed of swimmers at other pools and the number of swimmers who can fit into a particular category.  As you might imagine, the swim coaches have to balance a huge number of variables and as a result unfortunately, it is possible that not everyone will be able to swim in the Time Trials or the Big Meet.

If your family's athletes are part of the Time Trials, then in the 2 or 3 days after that event you'll be able to find out here on the website if they have been fast enough to qualify in the top 12 swimmers for that event in their age group from across the NAA.  Only once the results have been compiled from all 3 divisions will this information become available.   

Whether you or your family's athletes are part of the Time Trials or the Big Meet or not, it is important to attend both events.  The team's accomplishments are the result of the participation of every member and the swimmers who will be in the water will be greatly encouraged by the cheering and well-wishing of the entire team.

Good luck to all our swimmers!

Swimming: Dual Meet scores

The dual meet season is now drawing to a close.  We've got all the scores except for the Versailles/Ballantyne meet which was postponed until Thursday, August 5th.  You'll see some close races in the different divisions.  See the 2010 Swimming Results page for more details.

Remember, the Time Trials are the preliminary qualifying event for the Championship Big Meet so bring your best strategy, your best performance and your best game on Saturday!

Waterpolo: Waterpolo standings after week 3

They're the most complicated scores to compile and, in part, because there are really 4 leagues all opperating at the same time.  But, we've now got the Waterpolo standings after week 3 for you in the 2010 WaterPolo results page.
