As Swimming Canada continues to re-evaluate plans for the coming months in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the organization has decided not to attend world junior championships, or to host international events for 2021.<\/p>\n

Canada will not send swimming teams to the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships in Kazan, Russia, Aug. 24-29, or to the FINA World Junior Open Water Championships (Location TBD after originally being scheduled for Aug. 13-15 in Victoria, Seychelles.)<\/p>\n

\u201cOur high performance team, including National Development Coach Ken McKinnon<\/strong>, and National Distance\/Open Water Coach Mark Perry<\/strong>, have done a thorough review of several factors that complicate our ability to select teams, have them travel internationally and compete safely. This includes health and safety constraints at home and abroad, as well as our inability to run qualification events for athletes in a fair and equitable way,\u201d said High Performance Director and National Coach John Atkinson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More Canada news<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand what a tough year it\u2019s been for our junior swimmers in Canada. Unfortunately the lack of training and racing opportunities, combined with many unknown factors regarding travel, borders and quarantines, have led us to the very difficult decision that Canada will not be sending a team to either the pool or open water world junior championships.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, Canada will not be hosting the FINA Marathon Swim World Series July 25 or FINA UltraMarathon Swim Series July 31 in Lac St-Jean, Que., or the Marathon Swim World Series Aug. 7 in Lac Megantic, Que. This decision has been made in consultation with the local organizing committees and F\u00e9d\u00e9ration de natation du Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the current state of the global pandemic, that Canada has restrictions on non-essential travel, and the uncertainties around borders and quarantine protocols, Swimming Canada will not be sanctioning international FINA events this year,\u201d said CEO Ahmed El-Awad<\/strong>i.\u00a0\u201cOur Olympic and Paralympic Trials event set for Toronto this year at the end of May is still in place, however, we must be responsive to the current health situation in the country as we lead up to the event.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an organization, we have to put health and safety first. While these are difficult decisions, I am confident it is the right decision to not expose our promising young swimmers to international travel this year, or to encourage swimmers from other countries to travel to Canada for events,\u201d added President Cheryl Gibson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
