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

| Our
Focus for the New Season 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... | ||

| NYAC Senior Group Profile | ||
| ||
| 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. Murray Drudge NYAC Head Coach | ||

| 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. See meet results here... See Swimming Canada meet reports here... | ||
