With the 2012 Big Splash just over one month away, Swimming Canada released the names of the coach nominees for some of the major swimmer awards.
In order to be nominated, a coach must have had a swimmer qualify for an individual final at their major competition of the year, and be their Coach of Record. For 2012, these nominees all coached their swimmers to performances at either the London Olympic or Paralympic Games.
The winners will be announced at the Big Splash on Monday November 26. For tickets click here: http://www.canswim.ca/thebigsplash/
For the first time ever, the Big Splash will also be webcast on www.swimcanweb.tv
