Surrey's Arianna Hunsicker set to compete in Paraswimming events in France
A longtime swimmer with the Surrey Knights Swim Club, Hunsicker won six gold medals and one silver at the 2016 BC Summer Games. She followed that with five bronze medals at the 2019 Parapan American Games, and was named Swim BC's female provincial para swimmer of the year in 202.
Simon Deguire, who is head coach at Montreal's High Performance Centre in Quebec, where she trains, is also part of the coaching staff for Paris 2024. "Since we arrived in Vichy, Ari's been really focused – I think it helps to have a big team around... I think it really helped to have all 22 athletes – it helps lift the intensity a bit," he said."My group personally has been good, digging deep in some difficult sets. They're also super focused. I like what I'm seeing so far."
