Swimming Canada has announced that they will be cutting the High Performance Center – Victoria after the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in the latest move to reduce the center’s role in the country’s high performance infrastructure.
The current HPC – Victoria group includes 5-time world junior champion Bermuda born Jade Hannah.
Last week, Swimming Canada announced that the center’s head coach Ryan Mallette would be moving from the Victoria HPC to the Ontario HPC effective immediately, with Brad Dingey taking over his role. That center, along with the Victoria NextGen program, will be closing at the end of the Olympics, however, with Canada saying that given limited resources, it makes sense to fully invest in 2 centers instead of 3, HPC-Ontario and HPC-Vancouver.
