Four potential medal to one.
Not so mention swimming even has a 50m meter event.
If Canada wants to do better at the Olympics just focus on the pool. Put up world class facilities in Toronto and Vancouver and focus on potential top athletes and we could double our medal count.

Not only focus on the pool but focus on freestyle only. Freestyle has races at every distance plus it's own relays.
The fact that Hayden was the first Canadian to make a 100m freestyle final in 52 years tells you all that is wrong with Swim Canada.
