Montreal, Canada will host the 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships
between 12 and 18 August.

Following the success of London 2012 the event is likely to be the
biggest to date with over 650 of the world's best swimmers from more
than 60 countries taking part.

The majority of medal winners from London will be competing in Montreal
as swimmers start their preparations for the next Paralympic Games in
Rio in 2016.

The Parc Jean Drapeau Aquatic Complex, a venue to the east of Montreal
with a rich history for staging major international and national
swimming competitions will host the event. It features three recently
renovated outdoor pools. Swimming Canada, the organisers of the
Championships, plan to build a temporary structure around the
eight-lane competition pool, effectively turning it into an indoor
venue. A second outdoor pool will be used for training and warm-up.

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is committed to enabling
Paralympic athletes to achieve sporting excellence and to develop sport
opportunities for all persons with a disability from the beginner to
elite level. In addition, the IPC aims to promote the Paralympic
values, which include courage, determination, inspiration and equality.
