The Canadian Amateur Swimming Association(CAS A) was created in 1909 in order to serve as Canada's governing body of competitive swimming. 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.
