Canadian swimmers continued to impress as they backed up their incredible Rio 2016 Olympics performance with another impressive showing in front of the home country crowd. Canada won eight medals in Windsor, including two gold. With seven of those medals in women\u2019s events, to go along with all six Canadian medals in Rio, the women\u2019s team was named Canadian Press Team of the Year, only the third women\u2019s team in 50 years to receive the honor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Penny Oleksiak<\/strong> headlines the group of swimmers that will be competing in Victoria. Less than a year removed from her rise to fame brought upon by her performance in Rio, the 16-year-old continues accumulating accolades. Most recently, she was named one of Canada\u2019s most influential women by the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport for 2016. Oleksiak\u2019s 2016 accomplishments also include the Lou Marsh Trophy, awarded to Canada\u2019s top athlete of the year, and CP Female Athlete of the Year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hilary Caldwell<\/strong> will be competing where she\u2019s most familiar. Caldwell, a member of the High Performance Centre \u2013 Victoria, trains at the Saanich Commonwealth Place under Head Coach Ryan Mallette. Last month, Caldwell had a strong showing at the second stop on the Arena Pro Swim Series circuit. She won a gold medal in the 200-m backstroke, the same event in which she earned a bronze medal at the Rio 2016 Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always fun to have a swim meet at home.\u201d said Caldwell. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of focus on Canadian swimming after our success in Rio.
