Saint Sauveur won't be the only water attraction in the summertime

MONTREAL - Finding an Olympic-sized swimming pool to practice the breast stroke may get a little harder to do over the next five years.

Not that it's a bad thing. Montréal will be hosting 15 major swimming events between 2011 and 2016, providing a great boost to tourism and the City's economy.

The City will host the Canada Cup (2012-2016), the Nations Cup (2016), the Age Group Championships (2011, 2013, 2015), the Summer Nationals (2013, 2015), the Swimming Trials (2012, 2014), and the Eastern Canadian Championships (2013, 2016).

The big event will be the 2012 London Swimming Trials, which will determine who represents Canada at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, England.

Looks like the City will be awfully wet the next few summers.
