Ottawa, April 14, 2021 – Canada Artistic Swimming is very proud to unveil RISE UP, an ambitious action plan to implement positive change to the culture of our sport. 

It is our organization’s duty to provide the necessary tools for athletes to reach their ultimate dream in the sport, but also to provide a safe & inclusive environment for all, placing the human ahead of the athlete. The purpose of this action plan is to be clear about our ambitions. We aim to be a leader for a safe and inclusive sport environment by reviewing all our practices, creating new standards, and embracing change. Going forward, we will communicate regularly and be more transparent about all actions taken and steps that will lead us toward our objectives.

More information will be made available about the details and progress of the action plan on our website: https://artisticswimming.ca/rise-up/
