Artistic Swimming World Cup Super Final comes to a Myrtha pool in Toronto
The World Aquatics Artistic Swimming World Cup 2026 Super Final will take place at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, located at the University of Toronto Scarborough, from June 19 to 21. For Myrtha Pools, it is something of a homecoming: we built this facility to standards that continue to set a benchmark for aquatic infrastructure in the region. Completed in 2013, certified as a green building under the LEED standard, and home to the 2015 Pan American Games, the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre is the only international-standard aquatic facility in the area for swimming, diving, artistic swimming, and water polo.
Myrtha Pools installed two stainless steel competition pools: a 50-meter competition pool with two movable bulkheads, allowing multiple in-water configurations, and a training pool with two movable floors, designed to adjust the depth for a wide range of fitness activities and to support access for athletes with disabilities. A 5-meter diving well, also built with Myrtha technology, completes the aquatic environment.
The facility serves both the university community and the international competition calendar, embodying the dual-purpose design philosophy that defines many of the world’s leading aquatic venues.
A few years ago, Bob Singleton, former CEO of Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, declared: “When we talk to our high-performance athletes, even our club athletes, they tell me this Myrtha pool's a very fast pool” but there are more reasons to trust in a Myrtha pool: “Well, one, it's the flexibility of the construction system. Two, it's the low-cost maintenance over our extended period of time. And three, it's a 25-year warranty on the Myrtha system and 10 years on the membrane".
Thirteen years later, the Toronto Pan Am facility remains in excellent condition and will once again provide the setting for an international competition.
The world’s finest artistic swimmers are converging on Toronto, bringing with them form, rivalries, and momentum. The event will be broadcast live across Europe via Eurovision Sport, in Italy on RAI, in the United States on NBC Sports, and in Latin America via DirecTV and SporTV Brazil. Global audiences can also follow every session live and on demand via the World Aquatics Recast channel.
Canada arrives as the team to beat on home water. At the previous World Cup stop in Pontevedra, the Canadian squad denied Olympic bronze medalists Spain a clean sweep in the team events, claiming victory with a total of 217.2892 points performing their “Spider-threads” routine. In front of a home crowd, expect the atmosphere to rise even further. The Super Final in Toronto is more than just a competition. It is a reminder of what a well-designed aquatic venue can continue to deliver over time: performance, flexibility, and long-term value.
