Canada Artistic Swimming is proud to announce the athletes who will form the 2026-2027 Senior National Team.
A total of 15 talented athletes have been invited to form the group that will be training at Montreal’s Institut National du Sport (INS) as they continue preparation for the upcoming competition season. The 12 athletes returning from last season’s squad will be joined by 3 new members. Kaylynne Greensmith (Whitby, ON) and Lilian Wark (Thunder Bay, ON) have already started training in Montreal, while Nathan Zhang will become the first male to train full-time with the senior national team when he joins the squad in Montreal in the spring.
Mya Fortin (Gatineau, QC) as well as Paris 2024 Olympian Florence Tremblay (Rimouski, QC) have announced their retirements.
The team selection process culminated in October in Montreal with its final step – a week-long selection camp that featured athletes from across the country. The selected athletes will be representing Canada at domestic and international competitions for the 2026-2027 season.
This year’s competition schedule gets underway in February and will include several World Cup stops, the 2027 World Championships and will conclude in August with the Lima Pan American Games.
“We’d like to acknowledge and congratulate the athletes, coaches and clubs who participated in the selection process,” mentioned CAS Chief Operating Officer Stéphane Côté. “The level this year at trials was again very high, and a testament to the hard work put in by all as they work to make their way onto our National Team. We look forward to seeing this squad perform this season as we embark on the all-important year 3 of the Olympic cycle with eyes ahead not only to World Championships and Pan Am Games, but also Olympic Qualification and ultimately the 2028 LA Games.”
