The Aquatic Hall of Fame and Museum of Canada was located in the Pan Am Pool in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It closed in 2006.
The Museum was the oldest incorporated sports museum in Canada and had exhibits on swimming, diving, synchronized swimming and water polo. It recognized athletes and coaches who have competed in the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games and World championships.
The artifacts have been placed in storage in the hope that a new location will host the museum.

“The actors today really need the whip hand. They’re so lazy. They haven’t got the sense of pride in their profession that the less socially elevated musical comedy and music hall people or acrobats have. The theater has never been any good since the actors became gentlemen.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“It is remarkable that the dead lie everywhere under stones.... Why should the monument be so much more enduring than the fame which it is designed to perpetuate,—a stone to a bone? “Here lies,”M”Here lies”;Mwhy do they not sometimes write, There rises? Is it a monument to the body only that is intended?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A rat eats, then leaves its droppings.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 85, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
“Canadians look down on the United States and consider it Hell. They are right to do so. Canada is to the United States what, in Dante’s scheme, Limbo is to Hell.”
