The Americans finished with a bang, picking up five medals including gold in the women's 1,500m freestyle and the men's 4x100m medley relay. "We cast a huge net the year before the Olympic trials and Olympic Games trying to make sure we give a lot of people opportunity to get international experience which only sets us up to be better in 2024. The Pan Am pool was not without a few big fish. Olympic butterfly champion Maggie MacNeil was the swimmer in the spotlight, claiming five gold medals (100 butterfly, 100 freestyle, 50 freestyle, 4x100 freestyle relay, 4x100 medley relay), the most by a Canadian athlete at a single Pan Am Games. Her total medal haul of seven (five gold, a silver and bronze) is also a single Games high for a Canadian swimmer.

Many bathers had already taken to using wetsuits, but from Oct. 1 the pool has made them compulsory, to prevent medical emergencies among people not used to swimming in cold water. On the contrary, it's nice and fresh, we feel much better after training in a wetsuit in cold water than when it's heated," she said. Nogent Nautique pool manager Adrien Nougot said the centre had decided to stop heating the 50-metre outdoor pool on May 15 for financial reasons. A poolside sign showed the outdoor pool temperature was 19 C, compared to 28 C in the indoor 25-metre pool. Better a cold pool than a closed pool, said Nicolas Lioret, 48.
