Swimming Canada Updates 2025 Worlds Selection Policies To Include Stroke 50 Consideration Cuts [Video]

Swimming Canada announced it will update its selection policies for the 2025 World Aquatics Championships as a result of last week’s news that the LA 2028 Games will add stroke 50s to the Olympic program.

“World Aquatics putting the information out that they are adding the 50 butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke for men and women means six more medal events. It’s a great addition into the Los Angeles 2028 Games program,” said High Performance Director and National Coach John Atkinson. “It’s something that had been rumoured that was going to be happening, so we thank World Aquatics for providing clarity with an official announcement. Anything that increases the number of medals for swimming at the Olympic Games is a positive addition to the program.”
