After the detour teams are shown reading their clue instructing them to the museum. So where does this fit in?

We never actually saw the teams read the clue after the U-Turn, they just cut to the museum on the first go and cut them off the rest of the time. Andrea & Ebonie were shown on a Quebec highway between the U-Turn board and the museum, which wouldn't make sense if they went straight to the museum (but would if they got lost, an unlikely scenario considering they got to the museum not too long after Give'r), since the museum is directly across from the river that divides Ottawa & Gatineau, but would make sense if the pool was between those tasks.

My guess is that the the pool task was between the U-Turn and Museum.

No, Karen reads it at the U-Turn board. "Drive yourself to the Museum of Canadian History."
I suspect this was a task they considered, but decided against. This seems like a task that would have made a good Face Off. Perhaps they changed their minds and decided to go with the Bowling Face Off in Leg 7. I also suspect these VR 360 videos were filmed well in advance of principle filming, so if there was a last-minute decision to switch out the tasks, this underwater hockey footage became irrelevant.
The thing is, these VR 360 extras have been few and far between. HOWEVER, production received a BellMedia FUND grant which covered interactive digital applications. They are obligated to post it.

Per Occam's Razor, that's far too many challenges to fit feasibly into a single episode, so it'll probably appear as the first task of Leg 7.

No, as I said, it was deleted from the Ep 6 leg. So Sue, I do think it was filmed with cast...although impossible to tell who is doing the swimming here or if this was an earlier filming with mactors.

Here is a little CTV vid on underwater hockey:

Maanca:
Just remembered there was a missed opportunity for a past racer cameo on this episode,  instead of the mayor, Jody Mitic from season 1 is an Ottawa city councillor. 

Jim Watson, eh, not as hip in the public eye as Naheed Nenshi.
