During his time with us, Ahmed was a key contributor to the success of Swimming Canada, growing the organization from a small staff of 10 to a globally recognized leader in swimming,\u201d said Swimming Canada Past President <strong>Mary C. Lyne<\/strong>. Many of those staff have now gone on to be key industry leaders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn conjunction with expanding the business side, Ahmed worked with key staff and business, provincial, and government partners to redefine Canadian swimming as a global leader in Olympic and Paralympic sport. We are grateful for his contributions and wish him the best in his future endeavors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swimming Canada Acting CEO <strong>Suzanne Paulins<\/strong> will continue to serve in this capacity, as she has since May 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Board has complete confidence in the management team that Ahmed has built,\u201d Lyne said.<\/p>\n<p>The Board will review the organization\u2019s needs to fulfill the remaining mandate of the Strategic Plan 2021-2028, and the next quadrennial leading to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuzanne and the team are well positioned to continue to implement and support the organization and its key groups, and continue to manage the day-to-day operations as we lead into the next quad,\u201d Lyne said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/category\/americas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Americas News<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW235223476 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW235223476 BCX8\">\u2014 The above press release was posted by Swimming World in conjunction with SwimmingCanada<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW235223476 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW235223476 BCX8\">.
