Who governs swimming in Quebec
Quebec's clubs are affiliated with the Fédération de natation du Québec, which is the province's section within Swimming Canada. Quebec is the one province where the governing body operates principally in French, and where a facility's documentation, tender and correspondence will usually be in French.
The Olympic Park legacy
The Sports Centre at Montreal's Olympic Park holds two 50 metre pools and is the largest aquatic complex in Quebec. It can be configured for both 25 and 50 metre competition and is equipped to international standards — a direct legacy of the 1976 Games that still carries much of the province's elite training and racing.
As in Alberta, a complex that reconfigures between long and short course is a complex where the flag lines have to account for more than one set of racing walls.
