NEW COMMIT: Pointe-Claire, Quebec’s Aela Janvier has announced her verbal commitment to the University of Southern California and will join the Trojans as a member of the class of 2023.

Janvier, who swims for Pointe-Claire Swim Club, had an incredibly strong showing at Canadian Trials in July where she finished third in the 200m back and sixth in the 100m back with three other top-10 finishes. At the Eastern Canadian Championships, she won the 100m back and 200m IM and was the 200m breast runner-up. Janvier recorded a pair of best times and was a seven-time finalist at the Canadian Championships in April. At 2017 Canadian Juniors, she earned three golds in the 200m breast and both IMs.

She told Swimming World:

“I’m extremely excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim and study at the University of Southern California! Thank you so much to my family, my coaches and all my teammates for pushing me everyday and making this possible. I can’t wait to be a Trojan! FIGHT ON!!!”

In LCM, her best times include:

  • 100m back – 1:02.11
  • 200m back – 2:11.82
  • 100m breast – 1:11.91
  • 200m breast – 2:31.91
  • 200m IM – 2:17.44
  • 400m IM – 4:52.19

In SCY, those times convert to:

  • 100 back – 54.22
  • 200 back – 1:55.60
  • 100 breast – 1:03.30
  • 200 breast – 2:14.89
  • 200 IM – 2:00.53
  • 400 IM – 4:15.95

Janvier’s versatility will be be extremely valuable when she arrives in Los Angeles next fall. Her best times (converted to yards) would’ve scored in the B-final of the 400 IM, 200 breast and both backstroke events as well as the C-final of the 200 IM and 100 breast at the 2018 Pac-12 Championships. The Trojans finished fourth at last season’s conference meet.
