Looks like Canadian trials will be in June/July after this Olympic cycle or 5 weeks before major competitions. 2024 Olympic trials are also set in mid-May.

 

Glad to see Swimming Canada starting to make some good decisions

Hopefully he turns out to be the male version of Summer McIntosh

Definitely a person to watch. Any chance he can sneak in the 2024 Olympics? Even as a relay swimmer?

Possibly in the 4x200 relay, but tbh 2028 looks like a realistic option

Penny Oleksiak pulls out from the 2023 World Championships team. Looks like we won't be qualifying any relays until Doha. 

[Topicmaster1010 4,177]

Might be able to medal in the medley relay still if Summer swims the freestyle leg or they could also try Savard on butterfly and MacNeil on freestyle.

 

4x200 relay is probably gonna be 4th unless Summer has the swim of her life and/or the other swimmers like Harvey and Jansen step up their game.

 

4x100 relay is basically toast at this point though. Crazy how much depth we lost within one year

Ruck will race at the George Haines International Swim Meet this weekend. She's entered in the 50FR, 100FR, 200FR, and 100FL.
