IGLA in Paradise

Hula

IGLA is proud to announce that our next championship, IGLA 2011, will take place July 6-10, 2011 in Honolulu, Hawai’i (USA) at the University of Hawai’i pool complex!

While there are both thriving Masters aquatics programs and a vibrant LGBT population in Honolulu, there is no IGLA team in this city yet.

Thus, longtime IGLA member West Hollywood Aquatics has agreed to coordinate with constituents in Hawai’i to put together a fantastic competition.

Visit the IGLA 2011 website for more details.

Team Registration

Online Team Registration is now open.

By joining IGLA, your team will receive voting privileges at the 2010 IGLA general meeting in Cologne, Germany, to up-to-date IGLA membership directories, and IGLA information via the Internet or e-mail. If your team has a website, we will also include a link to it from the IGLA website, and your events will be posted to the IGLA Calendar.

Depending on the size of your team, up to four (4) representative names can be added to receive IGLA information. We strongly encourage you to submit email aliases (i.e. president@swimteam.org) as opposed to individuals’ email addresses. Your actual IGLA delegates may change between the time you submit your registration and the actual meeting.

Membership Dues

Clubs may join according to their actual team size or may opt to register as a smaller team with fewer organizational votes. However, the IGLA Board strongly encourages your team to register for a team size that corresponds with your actual team size.
