In addition to announcing their roster for the 2019 FINA World Championships, Swimming Canada also named their team for the World Para Swimming Championships at the conclusion of the 2019 Canadian Swimming Trials in Toronto.
The team is comprised of 18 athletes, five men and 13 women.
Headlining the women’s team is three-time Paralympic gold medalist and two-time World Champion Aurelie Rivard, who won three events (50 free, 100 free, 400 free) over the course of the meet.
Shelby Newkirk is another notable name on the team after setting a new S7 100 back world record on day one of the meet in a time of 1:19.99.
2016 Paralympic medalist Nicolas-Guy Turbide and Alexander Elliot (who won four events here) highlight the men’s team.

Canada can announce a WC team but the US can’t even announce proper selection polices? My athlete and many others at the meet this weekend were anxious because US Paralympics pulled the selection procedures and the director of US Paralympics seemed to be feeding information to more older, senior athletes about what these new procedures might entail which turned what was supposed to be a selection meet into a giant rumor mill. Frustrating for sure.
The World Para Swimming World Series is being held in multiple countries, the World Para Swimming World Championships are, of course, a single event that was to be held in Malaysia but has yet to have a replacement venue or dates confirmed. https://paralympic.org/news/ipc-strip-malaysia-2019-world-para-swimming-championships
