The third day of the 2026 Canadian Swimming Trials kicks off on Tuesday with preliminary heats in the men’s and women’s 400 free, 100 fly and 50 breast, along with the multi-class 200 and 400 free events.
Headlining the session is Summer McIntosh, the world record holder and reigning world champion in the women’s 400 free who broke the oldest women’s world record on the opening night of action in the 200 fly.
Taylor Ruck has had a strong start to the meet as well, and she’s the top seed in the women’s 100 fly, while Alexanne Lepage and Sophie Angus lead the way in the 50 breast as the only two women seeded under 31 seconds.
On the men’s side, Ethan Ekk is the top seed by more than three seconds in the 400 free, while in the 100 fly, with Josh Liendo skipping the meet and Ilya Kharun in the process of changing his sporting citizenship, Finlay Knox is the top seed.
In the 50 breast, rising star Oliver Dawson leads the field after breaking the national record earlier this year in a time of 27.29.
