The first, featured in November 2016, was written by\u00a0<em>Swimming World\u00a0<\/em>contributor\u00a0<strong>Rick Madge<\/strong>\u00a0and took a deeper look at what he refers to as &#8220;the age problem&#8221; in Canadian swimming. The second, featured in February 2017, was written by Swimming Canada and took a cursory look at\u00a0what their definition of high performance is and how they pursue it.<\/p>\n<p>In the November, 2016 issue of <em>Swimming Technique<\/em>, Coach Rick Madge presented an article showing the correlation between a swimmers age and their expected rate of improvement.\u00a0 The article was titled The Age Problem In Canadian Swimming.\u00a0 Readers can download a copy of that article by <a href=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/the-age-problem-in-canadian-swimming.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">clicking here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the article, Madge presented a series of graphs showing that Canada\u2019s performances were not keeping up with the world as the athletes grew older.\u00a0 He presented age data, performance data and compared that data to gender.\u00a0 Information from performances in RIO showed that Canada\u2019s youth was on the rise, but that positives were being overshadowed by athletes taking early retirement.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, the data in his article shows that Canadian male and female swimmers are leaving the sport far too early. The lack of older elite male swimmers has been devastating in the country\u2019s international performances. And while the women are doing much better than men in international competitions\u2014mainly because women can compete at an elite level at a much younger age than men\u2014 Canada is still losing out on the benefit of having its female swimmers stay in the sport longer. Madge maintains that Swimming Canada must be more active in addressing this age problem.<\/p>\n<p>In the February, 2017 issue, Swimming Canada answered by reaffirming their commitment to their athletes and the goal for constant improvement over the next quadrennial.\u00a0This commitment came as Swimming Canada enjoyed some of its greatest performance results.<\/p>\n<p>As a country, Canada took home 6\u00a0medals at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and eight at the 2016 FINA SC World Championships in Windsor, Canada.
