On day 1 of the Canadian world champ trials in her home pool in Toronto, 16-year-old Summer McIntosh broke the first world record of her career, clocking a 3:56.08 in the 400m freestyle. The teenage world champion reflects on the swim itself as well as her last year, specifically how moving from Toronto to Sarasota, Florida to train has impacted her. She also speaks on trying to relax after a swim like that and how she’s able to stay grounded at big meets even though there is always so much adrenalin and excitement involved.
