At this April’s Canadian Olympic Trials, the nation’s swimmers had some impressive races, and began to see the rewards of their developing High Performance program. As the country turns its attention to the potential in Rio this summer, the Swimming Canada governing body released a document that changes many aspects of the competition framework.
Among the most significant outlined changes are an emphasis on long course, the removal of 50 meter events, and structuring the season around peak meets. The goals of these changes are to build and strengthen the high performance program, and in turn Canada’s swimming.
Qualifying for Swimming Canada competitions will require long course meters times, and the qualifying window will be shorter. Historically, the short course season has taken place through February, though this will now be shortened. There are still areas with minimal access to long course facilities, however. They explain, “Short course times would still gain the swimmer entry into provincial championships (as determined by the province), other provincial competitions and/or club meets.”
Peak performance will aim to take place in March/April and again in July/August. In between there should be some competitions, identified as “prep meets” according to Swimming Canada, but these are not the focus. The late summer performances are the larger focus of the two.
