Swimming Canada<\/strong> has announced the cancellation of all summer 2020 national events due to the global coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The cancellations include the suspension of the Olympic and Paralympic trials that had been slated for rescheduling, and the wipe out of the\u00a0Canadian Masters Swimming Championships (May 22-24, Etobicoke, Ont.), Canadian Junior Championships (July 22-27, Montreal), and Canadian Swimming Championships (Aug. 6-9, Edmonton).<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the Olympic Trials Swimming Canada noted: “In light of the postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, those plans are no longer necessary and the Trials remain suspended until new timing can be determined.”<\/p>\n

High Performance Director John Atkinson has instructed athletes to train “at home, on their own, under the advice of their coaches and\/or other qualified experts”.\u00a0Encouraging the swimming community to follow all government mandates to prevent the spread of COVID-19,\u00a0Atkinson said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all have a responsibility to ensure we do our part in flattening the curve and follow the guideline of social distancing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Atkinson also announced that all scheduled national camps and activities will be postponed until at least the fall. Existing national team selection and nomination criteria will be withdrawn and reviewed, then reworked and posted as applicable once more detail on the international competition calendar is known. Athletes carded under Sport Canada\u2019s Athlete Assistance Program will continue to receive funding, however, adjustments will need to be made for 2020-21.<\/p>\n

The Statement from Swimming Canada in full (English and French Canadian)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Remaining 2020 national events cancelled<\/h3>\n

Following the lead of the International Olympic Committee, International Paralympic Committee, Canadian Olympic Committee and Canadian Paralympic Committee, Swimming Canada has announced the cancellation of all summer 2020 national events due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

This includes the Canadian Masters Swimming Championships (May 22-24, Etobicoke, Ont.), Canadian Junior Championships (July 22-27, Montreal), and Canadian Swimming Championships (Aug. 6-9, Edmonton).<\/p>\n

After announcing the postponement of the Olympic and Paralympic Swimming Trials, presented by Bell, Swimming Canada had been evaluating contingency plans for a potential late June Trials. In light of the postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, those plans are no longer necessary and the Trials remain suspended until new timing can be determined.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to thank the COC, CPC, IOC and IPC for their leadership in these difficult times. We understand that postponing the Games was an incredibly difficult decision, but one that needed to be made for the safety of all, therefore we are following suit with our national events,\u201d said Swimming Canada CEO Ahmed El-Awadi.<\/p>\n

The previously announced moratorium on all sanctioned competitions continues through April 30. Should provincial health authorities allow recreation facilities to reopen, Provincial Sections may resume local, regional, and\/or provincial swimming activities at their discretion.<\/p>\n

Pending further details on the rescheduling of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Swimming Canada\u2019s 2021 national events calendar is being assessed, and 2021 national events will be confirmed at a later date.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world needs healing. It takes time. The sun will rise again for the most celebrated Games, and for our Canadian championships. The athletes will awe us with their amazing talents once more. The world just needs some time to heal. Once the storm is over, we will swim again,\u201d El-Awadi said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Swimming Canada executive team and staff, along with 1976 Olympic medallist and President Cheryl Gibson, held a videoconference Wednesday for hundreds of swimmers, coaches, integrated support team staff, Provincial Section representatives, and representatives from partners such as COC, CPC, Own the Podium and the CSCTA.<\/p>\n

High Performance Director John Atkinson instructed athletes to train at home, on their own, under the advice of their coaches and\/or other qualified experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all have a responsibility to ensure we do our part in flattening the curve and follow the guideline of social distancing,\u201d Atkinson said, encouraging the swimming community to follow all government mandates to prevent the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Atkinson also announced that all scheduled national camps and activities will be postponed until at least the fall. Existing national team selection and nomination criteria will be withdrawn and reviewed, then reworked and posted as applicable once more detail on the international competition calendar is known. Athletes carded under Sport Canada\u2019s Athlete Assistance Program will continue to receive funding, however, adjustments will need to be made for 2020-21.<\/p>\n

Annulation des \u00e9v\u00e8nements nationaux restants du calendrier 2020<\/h3>\n

\u00c0 l\u2019instar du Comit\u00e9 international olympique, du Comit\u00e9 international paralympique, du Comit\u00e9 olympique canadien et du Comit\u00e9 paralympique canadien, Natation Canada a annonc\u00e9 l\u2019annulation de tous les \u00e9v\u00e8nements nationaux du calendrier estival 2020 en raison de la pand\u00e9mie mondiale de la COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Parmi les \u00e9v\u00e8nements annul\u00e9s, on compte les Championnats canadiens des maitres nageurs (22-24 mai, Etobicoke, Ontario), les Championnats canadiens juniors (22-27 juillet, Montr\u00e9al) et les Championnats canadiens de natation (6-9 aout, Edmonton).<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s l\u2019annonce du report des Essais olympiques et paralympiques de natation pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s par Bell, Natation Canada avait \u00e9valu\u00e9 la possibilit\u00e9 de tenir les Essais \u00e0 la fin juin. \u00c0 la lumi\u00e8re du report des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques de Tokyo 2020, cette comp\u00e9tition ne s\u2019av\u00e8re plus n\u00e9cessaire et sa tenue est suspendue jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce que les dates de report soient d\u00e9termin\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Nous aimerions remercier le COC, le CPC, le CIO et le CIP de leur leadership en cette p\u00e9riode difficile. Nous sommes conscients que le report des Jeux \u00e9tait une d\u00e9cision incroyablement difficile \u00e0 prendre, mais n\u00e9cessaire pour la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de tous. C\u2019est pourquoi nous en faisons autant pour nos \u00e9v\u00e8nements nationaux \u00bb, explique Ahmed El-Awadi, directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Natation Canada.<\/p>\n

La suspension que nous avions annonc\u00e9e pour toutes les comp\u00e9titions sanctionn\u00e9es se maintient jusqu\u2019au 30 avril. Si les autorit\u00e9s provinciales de sant\u00e9 autorisaient la r\u00e9ouverture des installations r\u00e9cr\u00e9atives, les associations provinciales pourraient, \u00e0 leur discr\u00e9tion, reprendre leurs activit\u00e9s de natation locales, r\u00e9gionales et provinciales.<\/p>\n

Dans l\u2019attente des d\u00e9tails concernant les dates de report des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques, Natation Canada r\u00e9vise son calendrier de comp\u00e9titions nationales de 2021 et confirmera les \u00e9v\u00e8nements nationaux de l\u2019ann\u00e9e prochaine \u00e0 une date ult\u00e9rieure.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Le monde a besoin de gu\u00e9rir. Gu\u00e9rir prend du temps. Les Jeux les plus c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9s du monde et nos championnats canadiens connaitront des jours meilleurs. Les athl\u00e8tes nous \u00e9blouiront encore de leur incroyable talent. Il faut simplement du temps pour que le monde gu\u00e9risse. Lorsque la temp\u00eate sera pass\u00e9e, nous pourrons nager de nouveau \u00bb, dit El-Awadi.<\/p>\n

Dans l\u2019intervalle, l\u2019\u00e9quipe de direction et le personnel de Natation Canada, ainsi que la m\u00e9daill\u00e9e olympique de 1976 et pr\u00e9sidente de l\u2019organisme, Cheryl Gibson, ont tenu mercredi une vid\u00e9oconf\u00e9rence \u00e0 laquelle ont particip\u00e9 des centaines de nageurs, d\u2019entraineurs, de membres de l\u2019\u00e9quipe de soutien int\u00e9gr\u00e9e et de repr\u00e9sentants des associations provinciales et des partenaires tels que le COC, le CPC, \u00c0 nous le podium et l\u2019ACEIN. Le directeur de la haute performance, John Atkinson, a demand\u00e9 aux athl\u00e8tes de s\u2019entrainer \u00e0 la maison, de mani\u00e8re individuelle et sous la supervision de leurs entraineurs et d\u2019autres experts qualifi\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Nous avons tous la responsabilit\u00e9 de participer aux efforts pour aplanir la courbe de propagation et de respecter les directives de distanciation sociale \u00bb, exprime Atkinson \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 de natation tout en l\u2019encourageant \u00e0 suivre les d\u00e9crets du gouvernement pour emp\u00eacher la propagation de la COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Atkinson a aussi annonc\u00e9 que les activit\u00e9s et camps nationaux pr\u00e9vus au calendrier seront report\u00e9s au moins jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019automne. Les crit\u00e8res de nomination et de s\u00e9lection de l\u2019\u00e9quipe nationale en vigueur seront retir\u00e9s et r\u00e9vis\u00e9s pour \u00eatre publi\u00e9s lorsque les d\u00e9tails du calendrier de comp\u00e9titions internationales auront \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9voil\u00e9s. Les athl\u00e8tes brevet\u00e9s en vertu du Programme d\u2019aide aux athl\u00e8tes de Sport Canada continueront de recevoir le financement. Cependant, des ajustements seront apport\u00e9s au programme pour 2020-2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
