Washington Tournament

Salut les amis,

What competition at the Washington tournament!  We were a few players short arriving in DC (a total of 7), but thankfully the Washington Wet Skins gave us a collection of strong players to help us out, including an incredible goalie.  Despite the boost, we faced some very strong competition, translation: we lost badly in a number of our games.  We had our good moments just the same, and fun was had both in and out of the water.  The Wet Skins had an excellent welcome reception at their sponsor, a sports bar called Nellie's. They also organized an exceptional party at Cobalt.  It happend to be synchronized with the club's 10th anniversary party, which included big search lights outside the club, and free vodka drinks inside until 11pm, along with an excellent line up of DJs.  The ACC team also took some time out to see the monuments and museums before flying back up to Montreal.

ACC Home Tournament

Salut les amis,

Congratulations to everyone for putting together a successful tournament.  Bichon did all the heavy lifting, and even volunteered as a ref for the tourney.  New this year we had music between games thanks to the new sound system they installed at the CVM pool.  Our welcome reception, organized by Emelyne, was at the Drugstore in the village and was an excellent opportunity for all the out of town teams to socialize before the games.  Thanks to everyone who made the tournament a success!

Eau-Vive Swimathon 2011

Hello water polo team-mates and friends,

The swimathon organized by ACC was again a great success this year raising approximately $11K for la Fondation d'Aide Directe - SIDA Montréal and la Maison d'Hérelle.

Our water polo team entered the swimathon again as a team this year with Frank, Catalina, Emelyne, and Paul collecting funds. While we raised several hundered dollars as a team, we did not manage to claim our usual spot as team entry raising the most money. An enjoyable evening for a good cause.
