Bobby Robinson, a major influence within athletics in Canada at the time, finally implemented the event that had been talked about amongst Commonwealth nations for over thirty years. Eleven countries with 400 athletes in total participated in the first Commonwealth Games. $30,000 was provided by the City of Hamilton to these nations to help cover traveling costs. Since then, the Games have been con- ducted every four years except for 1942 and 1946, due to World War II. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were known as the British Empire Games, then the British Empire and Commonwealth Games until 1962. From 1966 to 1974 they took on the title of British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as simply the Commonwealth Games. While other Games around the globe have been founded on geographic or climatic factors such as the Asian, Pan Am, African Games and Winter/Summer Olympics, the Commonwealth Games has been founded on history. Unique characteristics of the Commonwealth Games include being the only Games which shares a common language. All athletes and officials can converse with each other in English, creating an atmosphere that has led to the Commonwealth Games being long known as the “Friendly Games”. The bonds of the Commonwealth Games help to encourage and support the pursuit of health and fitness in each of the member countries and provide an inspiration for youth to strive for excellence. ORIGINES DES JEUX DU COMMONWEALTH Les Jeux du Commonwealth eurent lieu pour la première fois de l’histoire en 1930 dans la ville de Hamilton en Ontario, au Canada. Bobby Robinson, figure prédomi- nante du milieu athlétique canadien de l’époque, fit bouger les choses et arriva à mettre sur pied l’événement sportif que nous connaissons aujourd’hui. Le projet des Jeux demeurait au stade de la discussion depuis plus de trente ans au sein des na- tions membres du Commonwealth. La première édition des Jeux du Commonwealth accueillit onze pays et attira la participation de 400 athlètes. La ville de Hamilton avait réservé un total de 30 000$ pour couvrir les frais de voyage des pays participants aux compétitions. Depuis, les Jeux se sont tenus tous les quatre ans et n’ont fait relâche qu’en 1942 et 1946 en raison de la deuxième guerre mondiale. De 1930 à 1950, les Jeux se sont déroulés sous le nom des British Empire Games, pour ensuite porter le titre des British Empire and Commonwealth Games, jusqu’en 1962. De 1966 à 1974, les compétitions se sont tenues sous le titre des British Com- 2 www.swimming.ca monwealth Games et ce n’est qu’en 1978 que les Jeux ont été rebaptisés sous le nom qu’on leur connaît encore aujourd’hui, les Jeux du Commonwealth. Alors que plusieurs autres compétitions sportives ont été fondées selon des facteurs géographiques ou climatiques, tels que les Championnats panaméricains, les Jeux af- ricains et asiatiques ou encore les Olympiques d’hiver, les Jeux du Commonwealth ont pour leur part été fondés en fonction de l’histoire. Une autre caractéristique unique aux Jeux du Commonwealth, est que ce sont les seuls Jeux dont les participants ont tous un langage en commun. Athlètes et officiels discutent entre eux en anglais, ce qui crée une atmosphère particulière et agréable, raison pour laquelle les Jeux du Com- monwealth sont aussi connus depuis longtemps sous le nom des « Jeux amicaux ». Les liens d’attachement au cœur même des Jeux du Commonwealth aident à encour- ager et promouvoir la santé physique dans chacun de ses pays membres, en plus d’être une source d’inspiration pour les jeunes. THE SPORT OF SWIMMING Women’s events have been welcomed from the first edition of the Commonwealth Games, at the time, the “British Empire Games”. Today, men’s and women’s competi- tions each include 22 events, combining individual medley, freestyle, backstroke, but- terfly and breastroke, and freestyle and medley relays over a number of distances. The competition pool is 50m long and is divided into eight 2.5m lanes. Each stroke has its own regulations regarding proper starts, leg and arm movements during the races and how the swimmer must touch the wall at the end of each length. For all strokes except backstroke the race begins with a dive from a starting block. Backstroke events start in the water. Any swimmer who leaves the starting block or wall prior to the starting gun is disqualified. In all swimming events, the individual or team with the fastest time wins. In 2002, the Manchester Commonwealth Games featured for the first time additional sprint events such as the 50m backstroke, the 50m breastroke and the 50m butter- fly. The swimmers with multi-disabilities were welcomed to the Games in 1994 as a demonstation sport. The SWAD events where fully intergrated in the competition in 2002. They compete in the 50m and 100m freestyle. 3 www.natation.ca LE SPORT DE LA NATATION Dès la première édition des Jeux du Commonwealth, connut à l’époque sous le nom de « Jeux de l’Empire Britannique », des épreuves féminines furent présentées . Aujourd’hui, les compétitions, féminines et masculines, incluent 22 épreuves, incluant le quatre nages individuel, la nage libre, le dos, le papillon et la brasse, ainsi que les relais nage libre et quatre nages sur un certain nombre de distances. La piscine de compétition fait 50m de long et est divisée en huit couloirs de 2,5m. Chaque style a ses propres règlements en ce qui concerne le départ, les mouvements des jambes et des bras pendant la course et la façon de toucher le mur à la fin de chaque longueur. Toutes les courses, sauf le dos, débutent par un plongeon à partir d’un bloc de départ. Les épreuves de dos commencent dans l’eau. Tout nageur qui quitte le bloc de départ ou le mur avant le signal de départ est disqualifié. Dans toutes les épreuves de natation, c’est le nageur le plus rapide ou l’équipe la plus rapide qui gagne. Les Jeux du Commonwealth 2002 de Manchester présentèrent pour la première fois des épreuves de sprint additionnelles telles que le 50m dos, le 50m brasse et le 50m papillon. Les nageurs ayant un handicap sont ajoutés aux compétitions de natation en 1994 en tant que sport de démonstration. En 2002, les épreuves NH furent intégrés à la rencontre. Ils disputent le 50m et 100m nage libre. FREESTYLE Events : 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1,500m. The Freestyle events are those in which the swimmer may swim any stroke, with the exception of the freestyle segments in the individual medley and medley relay events where freestyle (also known as the crawl) means any swimming stroke other than backstroke, breaststroke or butterfly. Some part of the swimmer’s body must touch the end wall at the end of each length and at the finish, while some part of the body must break the surface throughout the race except at the start and turn. At the Com- monwealth Games, the 800m freestyle event is only for women, while the 1,500m is only for men. NAGE LIBRE Épreuves: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1 500m. Dans les épreuves de nage libre, les nageurs peuvent utiliser n’importe quel style, sauf dans les segments de nage libre du quatre-nage individuel et le relais quatre nages, où la nage libre (le crawl) est une nage autre que le dos, la brasse ou le papil- lon. N’importe quelle partie du corps dunageur doit toucher le mur à la fin de chaque longueur, et une partie quelconque du corps doit briser la surface de l’eau tout au long 4 www.swimming.ca de la course sauf au départ et aux virages. L’épreuve du 800m nage libre est réservée aux femmes, tandis que que le 1 500m est l’apanage des hommes. BACKSTROKE Events : 50m, 100m & 200m. Swimmers must remain on their backs throughout the race except during the flip-turn. The normal on-the-back position may include a body roll movement that does not ex- ceed 90 degrees from the horizontal. Some part of the body must break the surface of the water throughout the race except for after the start and during and after the turn, when the body may be completely under water (for a distance of no more than 15m in both cases).

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

  • January 2017
    Ontario Aquatic Hall of Fame Newsletter - January 2017 Congratulations Olympic & Paralympic Games- Ontario Swimmers Swimming on Olympic & Paralympic Teams Mike West has provided us some insight as an Olympian and voiced his feelings about this Summer’s Games: 2016 Olympic Team: “It was so exciting to watch the Canadian team swim with such confidence. Javier Acevedo (MAC) We’ve been through some lean years with respect to medals for Canadian swimmers at Ashton Baumann * the Olympics, it is so validating to see our swimmers get to the podium, and win gold (Ottawa) medals - way to go Penny. Dominique Bouchard (OAK) Overall I’m feeling really hopeful about the future of Canadian swimming - I get the Santo Condorelli (Kenora) sense that the team feels like they actually belong at the party. Mack Darragh (OAK) Kennedy Goss * (GGST) Hilary Caldwell said it so confidently after her 200 back - that reaching the podium was Audrey Lacroix (ANM) now “normal” for Canadian swimmers - and I think this is such a shift in thinking for our Brittany Maclean (ESWIM) swimmers. Sandrine Mainville (CAMO) When I swam in 1984 it wasn’t “if” you made the podium, it was where on the podium Kylie Masse (WEST/UT) you would be standing. And that is the feeling that I think is spreading through our Martha McCabe (TSC) Canadian team after Rio - our swimmers now have the confidence to not only compete Penny Oleksiak (TSC) with the best in the world, but to also contend for medals, including gold medals, at the Erika Seltenreich- international stage. Hodgson (GO) So excited

  • Testimonios of Shared Experience: Canadian Women Athletes and the 1980
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DOCTORAL THESIS OF S. Jill Black for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling presented on April 26. Title: Testimonios of Shared Experience: Canadian Women Athletes and the 1980 Olympic Boycott. Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Lizbeth A. Gray The testimonios of three Canadian women athletes and the 1980 Olympic boycott are presented. The Latin American method of testimonio is adapted as a framework for understanding personal stories.Testimonioswritten in a series of interpretive narratives and poems--poetic testimonios--represent three women's voices. This study includes three journeys: the research journey, a journey of self-discovery, and the journeys of three women athletes. Distinct and collective voices are highlighted. An analysis of writing forms used is offered. A traditional literature review and a section linking the study's findings to the literature are available in the appendices. Testimoniosare methods of resistance, and, thus, imply an appeal to matters of social justice. Therefore, "a call to action" invites researchers, counselors, and sport professionals to take a closer look at the oppressive system of high-performance sport and contemplate structural change. Beyond this, the ultimate worth of the project is for readers to decide. @Copyright by S.
