Coach McGrann believes that the Ontario Junior International was an excellent opportunity to expose our top Provincial swimmers to an elite international racing environment. This Swim Nova Scotia initiative was a tremendous investment in developing our Next Gen athletes and an excellent platform for 2020 National Competitions.
Sophie, Marion and Liam were proud to represent Swim Nova Scotia and compete in a field of 2020 Tokyo Olympic prospects, while paving the way for future swimmers in the Province.
