Who governs swimming in Saskatchewan
Swim Saskatchewan runs out of Regina and holds Swimming Canada's mandate for the province. School competition runs through the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association.
Saskatchewan is unusual in sharing its top-level provincial championship with a neighbouring province. The ManSask Provincial Championships rotate between Manitoba and Saskatchewan hosting, twice in a season — one in March and one in July.
Where Saskatchewan swims
Swim Saskatchewan holds provincial team selections at the Lawson Aquatic Centre in Regina and at the Shaw Centre in Saskatoon — the two buildings that carry most of the province's high-level racing. Selection meets alternate between them, so a Saskatchewan swimmer's season routinely involves both cities.
That distribution is the practical reality of equipping swimming in Saskatchewan: a handful of large facilities and a long tail of community pools, none of which were built to a common width.
