The season has arrived. Please note that the first meeting of the NAA for the 2019 season will happen Monday May 13th at 7pm at our usual location of the Dorval Community Centre.
Here on the NAA website, we’re getting ready for what promises to be an exciting 2019 season. The 2018 NAA results have been put into the NAA Historic Results pages and our 2019 results are all blank and ready for action. As the new NAA meetings get underway in May we’ll update the competitive schedules and let you know as we do. This is a good time to make sure you’re following us on Twitter where we update all new posts to the site.!
Our final NAA meeting of the 2018 season is tonight at 7PM at Sarto-Desnoyers (Dorval Community Centre). There have now been some proposals for changes to the Constitution for 2019 so the Package for the meeting has been updated.
You will find attached the following meeting package for the final 2018 NAA Assembly to be held at 7PM on August 27th 2018 at Sarto-Desnoyers (Dorval Community Centre) Salon B.
Hard copies of this package will be be made available during the meeting. It contains:
Agenda for August Assembly;
Attribution of NAA Events within the past 2 years (for bidding purposes);
NAA 2019 Calendar.
No constitutional amendment proposals have been received yet.
This assembly is longer than usual due to the awarding of events. We kindly ask that pools decide in advance which events they would like to bid on. We ask that everyone show up on time, as the roll-call will start at 7 PM sharp.
All trophies given out during finals must be handed back at this meeting. Thank you for your cooperation. If you wish to submit constitutional proposals, please do so in writing at the beginning of the Assembly (or before by e-mail) to Daniel.
We have posted a draft of the NAA Calendar for 2019 . This calendar will be used to award events at the last NAA Meeting of this year which is scheduled for Monday, August 27th at 7pm. While we don’t expect any changes to this calendar, it is not final until the August 27th meeting. We’ll publish a final version of the calendar showing the events awarded to each pool after the meeting.
Every year prior to the start of the dual meet season, the swim team coaches meet and use a coin toss to determine the relays for athletes 11 and up. The relays for 8-Under and 9-10 are automatically Freestyle as per the Constitution. These relay choices will be used for all divisions in Time Trials and at the Big Meet.
When the coin toss was done a few weeks ago, this information wasn’t published so here it is.
Girls 11/12: Medley
Boys 11/12: Freestyle
Girls 13/14: Freestyle
Boys 13/14: Medley
Women Open: Medley
Men’s Open: Freestyle
We’ve been negligent about the History of Trophies page and have finally caught up with 3 years of updates. The winners of the NAA trophies have now been updated as they should be on the History of Trophies page. We apologize to all those winners who had to wait to have the page updated!
We will be holding a Stroke and Turn Judges clinic for any NAA official who may be asked to do Stroke and Turn judging in 2018. We recommend that any of our officials who may be in this capacity attend the clinic even if you are FNQ certified in this capacity. We will be covering basic stroke and turn standards of course but also the unique rules of the NAA that are part of our Constitution. Those who expect to judge Stroke and Turn and Referees are particularly welcome. There is no pre-requisite to attend the clinic so if you’re wondering, please come along.
Location: Westminster Pool
When: Monday, July 2nd at 6:30pm
