Speedo Canadian Swimming Championships

Newmarket Stingrays

Speedo Canadian Swimming Championships is an annual event that provides swimmers from Canada and around the world with the opportunity to showcase their elite skills and abilities and compete for international recognition.

It was held in Toronto from August 1 to August 6; a remarkable display of talent and determination from athletes across the nation. Eight swimmers represented the Newmarket Stingrays Swim Club at this prestigious event. 

Lucas Amaral's standout performance was one of the highlights of the competition on Day 1. 

Lucas led the national rankings in the 50 fly event for Boys 15 & Under the whole season and entered the championship as the top seed. He had a great morning swim where he qualified first to the final.  He blasted a fantastic time of 25.40, lowering his own club record, and won the Gold Medal at the Championship Final.
