Trials 2019

The 2019 Canadian Swimming Trials held at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre from April 3-7 wrapped up on Sunday night with 47 Ontario athletes being selected for national teams, including the World Championships and Para World Championships being held later this summer.

“Canadian swimming continues to improve on the world stage and Ontario swimmers, coaches and their programs are contributing to that movement. Ontario representation at every level with team selections, Provincial and National records, illustrating the potential for even better results in the summer,” said Swim Ontario CEO/CTO Dean Boles. “It was also a tremendous job by the organizers, officials and all the volunteers to make these Trials a great event.”

During the course of the weekend, 23 performances by Ontario athletes were under the FINA A standards, showcasing the depth that swimmers from the province are competing at on the world stage.  One the women’s side, Aly Van Wyck-Smart broke the SM2 world record in the 150IM and four swimmers produced swims that ranked them in the top three in the world so far this season: Kylie Masse (1st – 100 back, 2nd – 200 back); Kierra Smith (1st – 100 breast), Taylor Ruck (2nd – 100 free, 100 back, 3rd – 200 back); Maggie MacNeil (2nd – 100 fly).

Numerous records including one para world record, one national record, eight national age group records, four national para records and 14 provincial records were set during the competition by Ontario swimmers.
