Hey there, time traveller!

The Canadian Olympic and Paralympic swimming trials have been rescheduled for next spring.
Swimming Canada said in a release Wednesday that the events will be held April 7-11 at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, and that the meet would be condensed into a five-day program from the seven days originally scheduled for 2020.
The trials were set to take place March 30 to April 5 in Toronto, but were postponed on March 13 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2020 Tokyo Olympics were postponed for a year a shot time later and rescheduled for July 23-Aug. 8, 2021. The Paralympic Games are scheduled to take place Aug. 24-Sept. 5.
Swimming Canada said selection and nomination policies for teams that would be chosen from the trials will be published once qualification processes are confirmed by FINA, the International Olympic Committee and International Paralympic Committee.
The Canadian open water swimming trials are scheduled for April 17-18 on Grand Cayman.
“With swimmers unable to train now, but hoping to be back in the fall, we have to adapt, and have been hard at work preparing alternate plans based on the best information available,” Swimming Canada high performance director John Atkinson said in a statement.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 22, 2020.
