NYAC Swimming

On behalf of all of NYAC, we would like to offer a warm welcome Hochan Ryu! Renowned for his expertise and passion he will be leading our Development A program - imparting his knowledge and experience to nurture the next generation of NYAC swimmers. His presence promises to elevate our programs and provide invaluable mentorship to our athletes. Here's to a promising journey ahead with Hochan Ryu!

With a 20-year swimming career and a 10-year-and-counting coaching experience, Hochan is a swimming coach that specializes in developing swimmers of all ages, backgrounds, and skills. His coaching passion runs on a "think-outside-the-box" mentality that has resulted in regional, provincial, and national successes. Hochan encourages swimmers to reach beyond the stars, set their paths for success and realize their potential as they see it.

As a swimmer, his achievements include two Top 5 finishes at the 2016 Olympic Trials, one USports record and two OUA records, was part of the National Canadian development team and participated in overseas competitions in the USA. Hochan also competed with the U of T Varsity Blues for 5 years.

On behalf of all of NYAC, we would like to offer a warm welcome Thomas Leung, a dedicated professional, to guide our Junior C program, where his commitment to excellence will undoubtedly inspire and shape our young talents. His presence promises to elevate our programs and provide invaluable mentorship to our athletes.

Thomas embarked on his swimming journey and his affiliation with NYAC at the tender age of 7. His swimming endeavors have taken him to both provincial and national stages, where standout events such as the Ontario Summer Games and the 2016 Rio Trials have left an indelible mark. Having benefitted from the guidance of esteemed coaches like Murray Drudge and Eddy Toro during his own swimming career, Thomas has seamlessly transitioned into the role of a coach himself. Drawing from his extensive background and personal experiences, he's keen to utilize his insights to craft a phenomenal season. Thomas is poised to make a remarkable impact as he supports and guides athletes on their journeys, nurturing growth and achievement along the way. Anticipation is high as Thomas steps into this coaching role, poised to contribute to a season of excellence and growth for all involved.

Oh behalf of NYAC, the Local Organizing Committee for the 2023 Speedo Canadian Swimming Championships (CSCs) we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the officials, and volunteers for their unwavering dedication and outstanding efforts in making the recent CSCs an exceptional success. Your commitment, hard work, and seamless collaboration ensured a memorable and smoothly-run event. It is your passion that truly brings our community together, and we are immensely grateful for all of your contributions.
