Original Story from Sportsnet.ca

Ask a Canadian which sports they grew up watching or which sports they watch most often in 2017 and you’re likely to get the typical responses. Hockey, soccer, football, baseball, basketball, golf, tennis. You know, the mainstream sports.

However, ask a Canadian to choose just one sport they’d want their child to excel in and a surprisingly high number will answer with swimming.
