MONTREAL — Swimming Canada says a contingency plan for the Olympic and Paralympic trials is in the works following the extended closure of Montreal's Olympic pool.
However, the Olympic Park announced Wednesday that the athletic sports complex would remain closed for four to six months due to a fire on March 21. “We know that day-by-day plans for an Olympic and Paralympic year are laid out months in advance. We are also aware that, with trials less than six weeks away, most participants have booked travel to, and accommodations in, Montreal,” acting Swimming Canada chief executive officer Suzanne Paulins said in a statement.
The competition venue needs to have a 50-metre pool, adequate capacity for participants and spectators, and allow for broadcasting the event.
