Canadian Teenage Swimmer Sets World Record Again, Credits Family Support for Success
Summer McIntosh, a 16-year-old Canadian swimmer, has shattered another world record at the Canadian swimming trials. Just days after breaking the 400m freestyle world record, she set a new mark in the 400m individual medley with a time of 4:25.87.
The impressive performance sees McIntosh break the record set by Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszú at the 2016 Rio Olympics with a time of 4:26.36. This achievement further solidifies her position as one of the top swimmers in the world.
McIntosh's week-long winning streak began when she broke the 400m freestyle record last Tuesday, shattering defending Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus' previous record of 3:56.40 by a mere 0.32 seconds with a time of 3:56.08. The teenager's dominance in the pool has drawn significant attention, and her family's support is credited for her success.
After her latest triumph, McIntosh expressed her emotions, stating that it was the first time she truly heard the crowd during her race. She attributed her incredible performance to having her family and friends in the stands, cheering her on. The emotional support from loved ones played a crucial role in pushing her through the final 100 meters of the race.
This latest achievement marks another milestone for McIntosh, who made her Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020 aged just 14. She has since gone on to win gold medals in various events, including the world championships and Commonwealth Games.
Currently training in Florida under coach Brent Arckey with the Sarasota Sharks team, McIntosh continues to showcase her incredible talent and dedication to the sport.

and already breaking world records! it's so inspiring to see her passion for swimming translate into such incredible achievements 
her family support means everything, it's amazing how having loved ones in the stands made a difference to her performance 
i mean, we all need that extra push sometimes, right? 
anyway, congrats to Summer McIntosh on this latest record-breaking feat 
she's definitely got what it takes to be a champion 
You know what really gets me? She's only 16 and she's already setting records that are gonna be hard for anyone to beat. It's not just about the swimming, it's about the mental toughness and the support system around her - her family is literally cheering her on from the stands! 
That's something we can all learn from, especially us older folks who think we've got it all figured out 
. I mean, what's the secret to her success? Hard work, dedication, and a whole lot of love from her loved ones. Let's give it up for Summer McIntosh! 
it's clear they're behind her every step of the way. This girl is on fire 
and I'm excited to see what the future holds for her!
! She's on fire, breaking records left and right! I mean, 4:25.87? That's like me trying to break a record in my grandma's cooking 
... just not gonna happen! But seriously, her family support is everything – she needs that energy boost from the crowd, fam! 
Ariarne Titmus should be like "Girl, bye!" because Summer's got this! And I love how humble she is too – says it was the first time she truly heard the crowd? That's so relatable for all us introverts in the pool 
. Anyway, congrats to Summer on another epic win! 
I mean, I'm glad Summer McIntosh is killing it in the pool, but can't we just have a timer that stops working when she breaks a world record instead of having to manually stop it? 
It's just so frustrating when you're watching her swim and the timer doesn't even get to show her actual time! 
Also, I wish they had more detailed stats on her swimming times. Like, what was her splits for each leg of the 400m IM? That would be super helpful for analysis and all that jazz. 
400m medley world record again 
she's breaking records left and right . her family support is everything - they're always there to push her through even when it gets tough .
, and then the 400m individual medley record (4:25.87) as another line graph with an even sharper drop at 200 meters 
! She's so young and already setting records like it's nobodies business 
. It's awesome to see her rise to fame and breaking those world records 
. i mean, don't get me wrong, summer's skills are insane, but let's not forget that she's still just 16 and hasn't had to deal with rising sea levels or extreme weather events like we're all going to have to 
summer mcintosh is on fire and her family's support is making all the difference, no doubt about it 
anyways can't wait to see what she does next!!! 
! She's literally crushing it out there on the pool deck, breaking records left and right... like, who else is even trying? 
I mean, have you seen her swim? She's got the skills and the focus to back it up 
. but can't help but wonder if this is all just a hype train 
? will she be able to sustain this level of performance or was this just one sick week 
.
. I feel like we need to give a shoutout to her parents and loved ones for being so proud and supportive. They're basically training her too, just by cheering her on! 
and I'm still on island time lol what was I saying? oh yeah Summer McIntosh she's literally a swimming genius and I love how she credits her family for her success that's so sweet 
my aunt just started coaching swim lessons at our local pool and it was hilarious watching those tiny kids try to flip themselves over
