WESTWOOD, CA - Nova Masters swimmer and Turkish Olympian Derya Bucharya broke both the 50 and 100 Short Course Meters Backstroke records for the 30-34 age group. In the 50 he swam 24.81 to blast the 25.65 former record held by Spanish Olympian Martin Zabero. In the 100 Back Derya broke his own record of 53.6 with a 52.8

 10 Nova Masters swimmers competed in this first time meet in the new Spieker Aquatic Center at UCLA. The new pool features a 50+ long meter pool with a bulkhead and diving platforms.

 The World Masters Championships were held in Sydney Australia, September 2009. Here are the results of the Nova swimmers: I think these are the complete results for the NOVA's.  We had seven individual finishes in the top three, and three relays in the top three (although none of the relays was pure NOVA), one individual gold and one relay gold.  This was LCM.GvH200 IM Men 50-541 Djan Madruga 51 BRA 2:26.3130.91 1:08.55 1:53.67 2:26.312 Timur Podmarev 52 RUS 2:27.3631.58 1:11.41 1:51.35 2:27.363 Sergey Molodin 50 RUS 2:27.6132.22 1:11.75 1:54.15 2:27.614 Gerard von Hoffmann 53 USA 2:28.951:11.89 2:28.95100 Breast Men 45-49
