MONTREAL – For Canadian swimmers, the big test for making Canada’s Olympic and Paralympic teams will happen in Montreal, QC from March 27-April 1st at the Olympic Park Sports Complex.
Today, tickets go on sale for this spectacular event where many swimmers will realize their dreams of representing the country at the World’s largest sport event, as well as inspire the many Canadians witnessing their achievements in the pool.
