Nova Masters Coach, Michael Collins, pulled out the stops to take the victory for the second concecutive year.
"We had a great turnout for the meet. I was hoping to get 50 people to the meet this year, since we were a bit out-numbered last year. We ended up with nearly 60 swimmers participating. Our relays were a very important part of the championship and they performed extremely well.
I am very proud of how well our new swimmers did as well as our experienced ones."
