MOTIVATION
He has been motivated to achieve success at international level by the achievement of Canadian female swimmers. "The men's side definitely has not been up to their standard for a long time. I think as one of the younger swimmers and seeing the women produce world record swims, world championship medals, it really motivates us on the guys' side to step up and get to their level. And I think there's a big group of us who see these women produce those fast times, and we want to be part of that success. We're really pushing and bringing our game to get next level, and we're excited to show what we're working on." (swimmingworldmagazine.com, 17 Jun 2021)
