In 1987, the organization changed its name to Swimming Natation Canada (SNC), representing a more concise bilingual alternative. This also enabled the organization to act more precisely in reflecting its emergence as a functionally oriented, non-profit corporation.

OBS

L'Association canadienne de natation amateur (ACNA) a été fondée en 1909 pour servir d'organisme directeur pour la natation de compétition au Canada. En 1987, l'organisation a changé son nom à Swimming/Natation Canada (SNC), offrant ainsi un nom bilingue plus court. Ceci a aussi permis à l'organisation de mieux refléter son émergence à titre de corporation sans but lucratif à orientation fonctionnelle.
