"VAN" (Sports Desk - 17.10.2025) :: The final stop of the Artistic Swimming World Cup returns to Toronto, with competition taking place at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, a premier facility with multiple Olympic-sized pools built for the 2015 Pan Am Games. Canada has a strong legacy of hosting major international aquatics events, including the 2005 and 2016 World Aquatics Championships in Montreal and Windsor, as well as more than 119 other World Aquatics competitions. The country has also seen a recent rise in artistic swimming, highlighted by world titles at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan. Audrey Lamothe, a three-time World Cup winner who earned four podiums when Canada last hosted the Artistic Swimming World Cup in 2024 and 2023, shared her excitement about the series returning to her home country. "It’s always an immense honour to compete in a World Cup in your home country. I vividly remember performing at the home World Cups in 2023 and 2024. It gives me goosebumps to think I will get another chance to experience this again in 2026," Lamothe said.
