(Rick) Meier-Windes Memorial Distance Swimming Award was established jointly in 2004 by the San Francisco Tsunami Aquatics and IGLA in order to recognize the overall best male and female distance swimmers in the three longest freestyle events offered at each IGLA Championship meet. This distinctive award features an “official’s bell” that is used to signal the last lap of a distance race at a swimming competition. It is engraved with the winner’s name, the year presented, as well as the name of the award. Last year’s awards were given to Kris Estrada of San Francisco Tsunami and André Nussbaumer of Gay Sport Zürich. Kris swam the 400 in 5:07.31, the 800 in 10:37.19, and the 1500 in 20:44.47. André swam the 400 in 4:46.00, the 800 in 10:03.18, and the 1500 in 19:15.03. Congratulations to both of you! We are looking forward to seeing more great distance swims this year in Edmonton! July 8th, 2016 | Category: Uncategorized Letter to U.S. Masters Swimming concerning Spring Nationals in Greensboro, NC The IGLA Board recently sent a communication to USMS concerning the Spring National champions being held in North Carolina given the passage of the HB2 legislation (which requires transgender persons to use the bathroom of their birth sex). Below are copies of our letter and USMS’ response: IGLA Letter to USMS USMS – IGLA re NC HB2 April 27th, 2016 | Category: Uncategorized Older Entries » Copyright © 2016 IGLA – International Gay & Lesbian Aquatics - All Rights Reserved Powered by WordPress & Atahualpa
