 NYAC's Position on the
H1N1 Flu Virus
 The coaching staff would like to take this opportunity to remind members of some precautions regarding the H1N1
flu virus. We support the following preventitive measures:
  • Proper hand hygiene which includes washing your hands often throughout the day and the use of hand disinfectants
  • Sneeze and cough etiquette
  • Maintaining good sleep habits and a well balanced diet

H1N1 symptoms include: Headache, chills and cough followed by a fever, loss of appetite, muscle aches and fatigue, runny nose, watery eyes and throat irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Please see a comparison of H1N1 symptoms with common cold symptoms here...

The most important reminder is for those experiencing influenza-like symptoms to remain at home until they are symptom free for 24 hours without the use of medication.

We understand that our swimmers are keen to remain training. It is imperative that they understand that the coaching staff will assist them once they return to make up for anything that they may have missed. The health and well being of our swimmers, coaches, parents, and NYAC community should take precedence over the swimmer's anxiety to return before they are fully recovered.

Let's pull together!

Head Coach's Message


September 2009

Murray Drudge
NYAC Head Coach
 As we head back into the pool for another year, we need to remember our focus. Swimming is a hard sport to be good at. It takes a tremendous time commitment and dedication to compete at the highest levels. For this reason, the initial attraction to the sport of swimming needs to be the pure enjoyment of being in the water. Read more...

Guideline from Swim Ontario Regarding the New Swim Suit Technology
NYAC recommends that swimmers not yet competing at a National level (Intro, Age, Youth, Provincial 1&2, Senior) do not require spending money on new suit technology. We recommend that our age groupers learn skills and fundamentals of racing first and save "the suit" for when they are at an advanced level of competing. Trying to get an edge on performance by wearing these suits too early only circumvents this process and can put the young swimmer in a situation where they appear out of place amongst other teams and swimmers at the age group level. It is strongly recommended that all NYAC families consider this carefully before purchasing an advanced level suit and refer to the coaching staff any questions or concerns. Swim & Sports, our equipment provider will also advise our members of our club's philosophy upon swim suit selection.

 Julia Just Off World Record
 
Julia Wilkinson and Michelle Williams with NYAC Head Coach,
Murray Drudge, at the 2009 British SC Grand Prix in Leeds UK
 Julia Wilkinson came within 0.48 of the world record winning the 100m IM at the 2009 British SC Grand Prix in Leeds UK. However, her time of 59:28 set a new Canadian record. ‘’I’m happy but not satisfied,’’ said Wilkinson. ‘’I was gunning for the world record and just missed it by less than a half second. My turns were a lot better in the final and my breaststroke to freestyle transition was very strong. I probably needed just a bit more training.’’ Wilkinson underwent shoulder surgery last fall and only returned to training this spring. Michelle Williams placed 2nd in the B final and set a new NYAC record for the 100m Fly with a time of 1:00.49. This improves the previous record of 1:02.31 held by Mich MacPherson since 1982.
