Artistic swimmers speak out about abuse at training centre
Four members of Canada’s artistic swimming team, training in Montreal, are speaking out about what they call a toxic environment.
Last month, allegations of abuse and harassment from swimmers and people outside the program led to the shutdown of the senior national artistic swimming team’s training centre, pending a review by an external firm.
Due to their fear of reprisals, Radio-Canada has agreed to protect the swimmers’ identities and to refer to them as Caroline, Sarah, Patricia and Rose.
“It’s been going on for too long within that organization,” said Caroline. “There is a toxic environment in artistic swimming.”

ReykjavÃk’s Empty Pools: Video
Did you ever wonder what the swimming pools in ReykjavÃk look like these days, when closed? Steinar Þór Ólafsson, communications director, visited them recently to take a look.
All swimming pools in the capital are have remained closed since October 7, in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Steinar tells mbl.is the closure gave him reason to record the pools on video.
“For a very long time, I’ve wanted to do this,†he states. Normally, the Laugardalslaug pool is closed only one day a year, and you don’t want to bring a drone to a pool full of people. I saw this as an ideal opportunity to take a look at them.†Obtaining permission to film the pools proved easy, Steinar adds.
