Local swimmer Quinn Matteis has been selected to the Team Ontario Tour Team.
Head Coach Brian Lindsay says Quinn will be participating in the Distance Camp and Dixie Zone Open Water Meet in Miami Florida. Lindsay himself has also been selected as the Staff Coach to assist Lead Coach Don Burton of the Ontario Swim Academy.
Tour dates are May 2nd-6th in Miami, Florida with an Open Water 5km Meet on Sunday, May 5th at the Miami Marine Stadium on Virginia Key. According to Lindsay, Team Ontario is made up of seven swimmers and they were selected based on their 1500 m race performance at the recent Eastern Swimming Championships in Quebec City. Quinn placed 9th and dropped nineteen seconds to get his first Canadian Seniors National Time at 16:32.93.
In the selection process, Swim Ontario targets swimmers who will be under 17-years-old at the 2020 Canadian Olympic Trials, and who are not currently in the Swimming Canada Open Water ID Program.
