Headlining the roster is Rio Olympian Santiago Grassi, the Argentine National Record holder in the 100 (51.73) and 200 (1:56.30) butterflies. Grassi competed in the 100m butterfly at the Olympics this summer, placing 24th overall with his 52.56. In the long course pool, he’s the National Record holder in the 50 fly (23.90) and 100 fly (52.09).
Another National Record holder, Andrea Berrino, will be making the trip to Canada. Berrino broke her own record in the 100 back to qualify for the meet with a 58.06. She also qualified in the 50 back, where she clocked a 27.05.
