Looking on the bright side, it just seems to be the Ontario region, not Canada as a whole.
Crazy that it's happening, but at least it's not affecting the entire nation.
That is nuts. If it was one team or region, or local governing body I could understand, but all Masters Swimming in Canada that's crazy. Some people are just not getting along for some reason.
"The purpose of this letter is to inform you that Masters Swimming Ontario and all and any participants, members or events related to Master Swimming Ontario are now in good standing and are subsequently restored, effective immediately both domestically and internationally.
This action is in follow up to a letter received by Swimming Canada on October 21, 2015 from the President of Swim Ontario notifying Swimming Canada that Master Swimming Ontario is now in good standing.
This letter also serves as notification that the Masters Swimming National Championship set to begin on May 20th, 2016 is now a sanctioned event by Swimming Canada and by Aquatics
Canada."

No explanation either of why they have changed their mind. But all's well that ends well, I guess.
