The two top awards, for male and female athlete of the year, went to Olympic swimmers <strong>Brent Hayden<\/strong> and <strong>Maggie MacNeil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Hayden, swimming in his fourth Olympics <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-comeback-swimmer-of-the-year-brent-hayden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">after a seven-year retirement<\/a>, finished ninth in the men\u2019s 50 freestyle in Tokyo. He was part of the men\u2019s 400 freestyle relay that finished fourth in Tokyo and set a national record. At 37, he is the oldest man to break 48 seconds in the 100 freestyle in history.<\/p>\n<p>MacNeil was one of Canada\u2019s stars of the Tokyo Games.

He was on the board dating to 2009 and helped Canada return to the Olympics for the first time since 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Evelly has spent five terms (22 years) on FINA\u2019s Technical Master\u2019s Committee, serving two terms as the honorary secretary and two as the board\u2019s chair. The former president of Swimming Newfoundland and Labrador and 12-year board member of Swimming Canada has volunteered for 38 years.<\/p>\n<p>The ACA nominated water polo coach <strong>Claude Lavoie<\/strong> for its hall of fame. He coached the first Canadian women\u2019s water polo team at an international event in 1977 and brought them to the 1978 World Championships in Berlin (as an exhibition sport). He lobbied FINA to recognize women\u2019s water polo starting with Worlds in 1986 and was part of the push for Olympic inclusion, which happened in 2000.<\/p>\n<p>Lavoie was on event organization committees for the FINA Cup in 1983, the first Women\u2019s Junior World Championships in 1997 and the 2005 World Championships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aquatics Canada Aquatiques Names Brent Hayden, Maggie MacNeil Athletes of the Year Aquatics Canada Aquatiques on Thursday released its annual ACA Awards, recognizing outstanding achievement in Canadian aquatics.
