Swimming Canada Friday announced that it had a \u201cvery positive call\u201d with 18 of the federation\u2019s athletes competing in the 2020 International Swimming League season, aimed at sharing the best information possible about their participation.<\/p>\n

Swimming Canada CEO Ahmed El-Awadi,<\/strong> High Performance director John Atkinson<\/strong> and national team physician Dr. Steve Keeler<\/strong> presented to the group, \u201chighlighting facts to be aware of regarding topics such as health and safety, travel considerations and insurance coverage.\u201d The stated goal of the call was to share information with the Canadians taking part in Budapest to elucidate the COVID-19 risks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not mandating anything on if Canadians should or should not participate in the ISL, or prevent them from attending,\u201d El-Awadi said in a press release<\/a>. \u201cOur goal in the current situation, as always, is to provide them with the best information available.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several high-profile Canadians, including Penny Oleksiak<\/strong> and Kayla Sanchez,<\/strong> have opted out of the season<\/a>, which includes the Toronto Titans as an expansion franchise in ISL\u2019s second season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ISL has jousted publicly with federations<\/a> over releasing swimmers, most notably Australia<\/a>, and Swimming Canada makes it clear that they are not preventing its swimmers from taking part but arming them with current information. They\u2019ve also pledged to, \u201cwork to support each individual swimmer\u2019s choice as they prepare to compete for spots on Team Canada at the Olympic & Paralympic Trials scheduled for April.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRacing is an important part of preparing to perform at a major championships or Games,\u201d Atkinson said. \u201cAnything that gives our swimmers racing opportunities and draws attention to our outstanding athletes is great for our sport to continue to develop. For activities outside of Swimming Canada\u2019s scope our role is to ensure athletes and coaches receive as much information as we have, and confirm they understand potential risks. Specific to the ISL, our focus will be to advise the athletes, and support whatever decision they make as best we can, just as we support their choices to train in a High Performance Centre, a Canadian club or university, or club or university outside of Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the information passed along is about the COVID-19 situation in Budapest, travel advisories from the Canadian government and quarantine procedures upon their return \u2013 basically a clear accounting of what they risk in terms of health and training time to get that racing in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would assume team members inside the ISL are receiving as much or more information from their ISL teams, so they can make informed decisions and plans,\u201d El-Awadi said. \u201cOur focus is on supporting the athletes to be the best they can be to represent Canada at the Olympic and Paralympic Games.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
