Pacific Coast has nine swimmers and Island Swimming Club 17 competitors at the Olympic trials
The halcyon days are over for Island swimming. The Olympic medallists of the mid-2000s are now in retirement and into the career recognition phases, with Ryan Cochrane being inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame this week and Hilary Caldwell into the Victoria Sports Hall of Fame in the fall.
“It’s going to be smoking fast,” said coach Rod Barratt of Victoria’s Pacific Coast Swimming Club, of the calibre of Canadian swimming at the moment, and the times that will be needed to make the Olympic team for Paris. “We want to tell a visual story of Canadian competitive swimming at the Olympics and Paralympics in Paris, using a specially created graphics package featuring icons of the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Moulin Rouge and Notre Dame alongside elements representing the pool, water, lane lines, and more,” said marketing director Alan Raphael, in a statement.“I told our swimmers to look around, wring out the experience, and take a shot,” said Barratt.
That includes six-foot-three Claremont Secondary graduate Keir Ogilvie, 21, of Pacific Coast in the men’s 50- and 100-metre freestyles and 100-metre butterfly. The U Sports-champion, who represented Canada in the 2023 Santiago Pan Am Games, spent six months training in Australia at the famous St. Andrew’s Swim Club and looks ready to go at trials.
