"As a sport, swimming is predominantly an individual commitment. Even so, to make it to the Olympic podium you need a great team behind you to ensure you are the best athlete you can possibly be every time you dive in the pool. Team Aquatic Supplies supported my road to the podium up to the Beijing games in 2008. They support many sports in Canada, and are an outstanding part of the swimming community's success as well as my own."

Now, 11 years later, I feel very honoured to be sponsored by them because they are such HUGE supporter of Swimming Canada, and passionately work towards helping athletes, like myself, reach their swimming goals. I am incredibly thankful for their support and their genuine effort to help all Canadian athletes be the best they can be!"
