href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/toronto-to-host-para-swimming-canadian-open-after-postponement-of-world-championships\/\" target=\"_blank\">Canadian Open<\/a> Swim Meet.<\/p>\n<p>Rio Paralympic gold medallists <strong>Brenden Hall<\/strong>, <strong>Lakeisha Patterson<\/strong> and <strong>Tiffany Thomas-Kane<\/strong> will kick-start Australia\u2019s three-day Canadian Open Meet campaign, starting Tuesday morning (Australian time) in Toronto (Canada).<\/p>\n<p>Hall and Patterson will both tackle their Paralympic gold medal 400m freestyle events while breaststroke golden girl Thomas-Kane will line up in her Rio bronze medal event, the 50m butterfly.<\/p>\n<p>The 400m freestyle will also feature four time Paralympian and team leader <strong>Matt Levy<\/strong> and Rio team mate <strong>Rowan Crothers<\/strong> in the men\u2019s events with Rio silver medallist <strong>Monique Murphy<\/strong>, bronze medallist <strong>Katja Dedekind<\/strong> and NSW South Coast rookie <strong>Jasmine Greenwood<\/strong> in the women\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Other opening day entrants will see two-time Rio finalist <strong>Liam Schluter<\/strong> in his specialist 200m freestyle event and triple silver medallist <strong>Madeleine Scott<\/strong>, <strong>Paige Leonhardt<\/strong> and <strong>Emily Beecroft<\/strong> in the 100m butterfly.<\/p>\n<p>And Australia\u2019s 18-strong band of Para swimmers will have the words of wisdom of one of Australia\u2019s most astute Olympic coaches ringing in their ears in the countdown to the meet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leigh Nugent<\/strong>, who led the Australian team on two Olympic campaigns in 2004 and 2012, is the appointed Head Coach of the 2017 Para team.<\/p>\n<p>It was to be his first Para World Swimming Championship campaign, until the International Paralympic Committee postponed the event following the tragic earthquake in Mexico City last week.<\/p>\n<p>But within 24 hours Swimming Canada re-arranged its Canadian Open Meet attracting leading countries including Australia and the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Swimming Australia re-arranged the team\u2019s flights to fulfill a pre-event training camp to Dallas, Texas last weekend before the group, which includes 17-Paralympians from Rio, arrived into Toronto on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Nugent was quick to offer his words of advice for all, telling the team: \u201cEveryone has made a major commitment to prepare the athletes for the World Championships and disappointment is understandable even though the situation is unavoidable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs athletes, coaches and staff these are the times when we need to remain optimistic and positive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation in Mexico is tragic and is a vivid example that in sport the unforeseen can occur and it is the athletes and coaches who are most adaptable and resilient who deal with the obstacles with a minimum of fuss and perform under any circumstance when and where required.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can now prove to ourselves that we are adaptable and can perform for Australia when we have to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nugent advised Australia\u2019s team coaches and swimmers leading into the meet to \u201cmaintain their training load and continue to prepare for an imminent competition\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be advisable for coaches to design workouts\u2026.with a slight elevation in the load (swimming and dry land) from which they had previously planned for Dallas and the first couple of days in Mexico City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis strategy will level out the taper effect and provide a platform from which to taper\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Australia, the USA and Canada will have their top Para-swimming athletes in action in the \u201ctimed finals\u201d only three-day meet at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre.<\/p>\n<p>For Australia and Canada it will provide those swimmers in their classes for the Commonwealth Games to show their wares.<\/p>\n<p>Triple Paralympic finalist, <strong>Emily Beecroft<\/strong>, who was fourth in the 50m freestyle in Rio, is certainly relieved to have the opportunity to race in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo get another opportunity to race and improve my times certainly is a relief. The whole team is very thankful to Canada for creating this event for us,\u201d Beecroft said from Toronto today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe closeness of this team is always helpful when going through situations like this, especially as we get to support and talk to one another about how we are feeling and what we are doing to get through it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goals for this meet are just to post some fast times and improve on my race plans. It&#8217;s all about getting that race experience and practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And for some members of the team, including Emily, they also have the Commonwealth Games and the next Paralympics on their minds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am just so excited to (get the opportunity) to swim in front of a home crowd on the Gold Coast and have another opportunity to represent my country,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goals for Commonwealth Games are just to get some fast times, hopefully some personal bests, and just to take in as much as I can and enjoy the experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Tokyo 2020?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTime is definitely\u00a0ticking away faster than expected. That&#8217;s why the opportunity like racing here in Canada is that much more important. The more race experience and practice, the better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Press release courtesy of Swimming Australia.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Australian Para Swim Team has shifted their focus from the World Championships in Mexico City to the Canadian Open Swim Meet.
