– The Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA)

held at The University of Georgia's Gabrielsen Natatorium in
Athens, Ga., on Feb. 19-21, 2009.
"Our inaugural Championships were a great success last year,
including tremendous fan support. We feel that moving to a facility
the size and caliber of Georgia's Gabrielsen Natatorium will be a
great fit for the CCSA," said Ted Gumbart, Executive Director of
the CCSA. "It reflects on the high quality of our student-athlete
swimmers and divers and will provide an outstanding Championship
setting for the teams and their fans."
The inaugural CCSA Championship meet was held Feb. 21-23, 2008 at
the Huntersville Aquatic Center in Huntersville, N.C. where the
College of Charleston men's team and Davidson women's team claimed
the 2008 CCSA Champion titles.
