Aquatic Hall of Fame and Museum of Canada, Sports hall of fame in Winnipeg, Canada
The Aquatic Hall of Fame and Museum of Canada is located within the Pan Am Pool complex on Poseidon Bay in Winnipeg and tells the story of Canadian aquatic sports. The exhibition spaces display trophies, documents, and memorabilia from swimming, diving, water polo, and synchronized swimming competitions.
The museum was founded in 1970 as one of Canada's first sports museums, inspired by the 1967 Pan American Games held in the city. Since then, it has grown to become the leading archive for Canadian aquatic sports history spanning multiple decades.
The collection honors athletes who excelled in swimming, diving, and water polo across generations. You can see medals, photographs, and personal items from Canadian competitors who shaped national and international aquatic sports.
The museum is located at 25 Poseidon Bay and features exhibition galleries along with accessible archive areas for visitors. It is helpful to check opening hours in advance, as the facility may have limited visiting times depending on the season.
In 1997, this institution received an official Coat of Arms from the Canadian Heraldic Authority, becoming the first hall of fame with this honor. This coat of arms remains a rare distinction among Canadian sports institutions and underscores the cultural importance of the site.
