DAVE SALO NOMINATED FOR USA SWIM COACH OF THE YEAR

Novaquatics CEO, and Head Swimming Coach for the Univeristy of Southern California, Dave Salo, is up for U.S. Swim Coach of the Year.

Known as the Golden Goggles and sponsored by the USA Swimming Foundation, the event celebrates annually the accomplishments of American swimmers and coaches.

This year’s event will take place on Nov. 22 at the Beverly Hilton.

Salo, who had a host of swimmers win medals at the 2009 World Championships, is among five coaches nominated for Coach of the Year.

 

This year’s event will be hosted by Emmy-nominated sports broadcaster Dan Hicks and will mix entertainment industry celebrities with the top swimming stars in the United States. Hicks has been the voice of Olympic swimming since 1996 and is also a host of NBC’s Emmy award-winning golf coverage. A total of eight Golden Goggle awards will be presented this year, including Male and Female Athlete of the Year.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS

The NOVAQUATICS look forward to this coming spring in which they will work with the local organizing committee for the Special Olympics program, as the annual multi-sport event comes to Irvine and Heritage Park. 

 

The event is tentatively planned for May and the NOVAQUATICS program has been asked to work with the organizing committee and the City of Irvine to operate the swimming competition to be held at the Woollett Aquatics Center.

 

In an effort to get our swimmers involved in this great opportunity, any NOVA member in high school that is interested in participating in the meet should sign up through the website via the ’Meet & Event Info’ Tab. This is a good opportunity to be involved in community service and to enhance the resume.

 

 

 

VOLUNTEER HOURS

 

We want to thank everyone who did such a great job volunteering over the past weekend to make the annual NOVA Back-to-School meet such a success. While we certainly realize that we require families to "volunteer", we want everyone to understand how valuable your role is in making these events successful.

 

We also want to remind all families that volunteer hours are always registered accurately - but there is sometimes a delay in when they are recorded on the website. When checking your hours on the website, you should note if the volunteer hours reflect the most recent event - sometimes there is a delay in getting this information updated. Everyone has to realize that we have one administrator working on this with about 600 families to account for - so it is a very time-consuming effort.

 

Again thanks for all your help in making NOVAS the great program that it is.
