NCC to Open Two New Public Swim Docks on the Ottawa River | CTV News
The National Capital Commission is set to open two new public swimming docks on the Ottawa River this summer: one near the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, expected by Canada Day, and one at the East Wharf in downtown Ottawa, steps from the Rideau Canal locks, set to open in mid-June. CTV’s Tyler Fleming reports that NCC director of real estate management Nathalie Roy-Patenaude says the waterfront sites are designed to give residents who lack access to private outdoor space a new way to connect with nature. Patenaude says the project will build on the success of existing NCC swimming spots at the NCC River House and Dow’s Lake. The East Wharf location will also include a dedicated swimming lap lane and dockside food and beverage service, while lifejacket rentals will be available at some docks; swimming at all locations will be unsupervised. The NCC says its waterfront hotspots drew more than one million visits last summer.

How One Coach Is Changing Access to Swimming | Immersed: Changing the Current | Documentary Short | HUDSY TV
“Immersed: Changing the Current” follows Galen Franchek, a passionate USA swim coach working to break down the systemic barriers that limit access to swimming for people of color in Poughkeepsie, NY. Driven by her belief in equal opportunity, Galen founded the nonprofit Mid-Hudson Aquatics to create access, mentorship, and community for young swimmers who have historically been left out of the sport.
As Galen fights to make swimming more inclusive, she confronts challenges ranging from limited resources to longstanding inequities within the industry itself. Through determination, mentorship, and compassion, she inspires the next generation to push beyond limitations both in and out of the pool.
