Canada's 16-year-old swimming sensation Summer McIntosh has shattered another world record, this time in the 400m individual medley event at the Canadian swimming trials. Just days after breaking the world record for the 400m freestyle, McIntosh continued her remarkable streak by clocking a blistering time of 4:25.87.
The young Canadian's achievement not only broke the mark set by Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszú at the 2016 Rio Olympics but also surpassed her own previous record, which she had set just last week. McIntosh's incredible performance is all the more impressive considering she was up against stiff competition in a field that included defending Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus.
After her latest triumph, McIntosh expressed her emotions, stating that hearing the crowd cheering her on for the first time made the experience truly special. The teenager credited her family and friends, who were present at the trials to support her, with helping her stay focused in the final stretch of the race.
This remarkable feat is just one in a long list of achievements for McIntosh, who has already established herself as one of the most promising young swimmers in the world. The 16-year-old Canadian made her Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020 and went on to win gold medals in the 200m butterfly and 400m medley events at the world championships in 2022.
Currently training under coach Brent Arckey with the Sarasota Sharks team in Florida, McIntosh is poised for even greater things in the world of competitive swimming. With her sights set firmly on the future, she continues to push the boundaries of what is possible and inspire fans around the globe with her remarkable talent and dedication.

! I mean, clocking that 4:25.87 time is insane, especially considering all the competition she was up against. It's not every day you see a 16-year-old break world records in the pool

. And hey, who needs an age limit when you've got talent like this? 
The future of competitive swimming is in good hands with Summer McIntosh 
. but what i love most is how humble she stays despite all this hype. hearing the crowd cheering her on must've been so surreal 
meanwhile i'm just over here trying to keep up with her training schedule lol 
. And to think she was up against Ariarne Titmus, the Olympic champ? No big deal for this teen sensation 
. I'm so hyped for her future in swimming, she's gonna break more records and make more waves (pun intended 
.
like seriously, this girl Summer McIntosh is a total legend already at 16! I mean, breaking another world record in the 400m individual medley event is just insane 
. And yeah, she's got some serious competition with Ariarne Titmus and Katinka Hosszú, but she still manages to come out on top 
And I love how she mentions the crowd cheering her on making the experience special – that's what makes swimming so amazing! The thrill of competition, the rush of adrenaline... it's like, whoa! 
. And now she's training with the Sarasota Sharks team in Florida – I mean, she's basically on top of the world right now
