One Para-swimming world record was broken twice, and another was threatened Thursday during the second night of the 2018 Canadian Swimming Trials.<\/p>\n

Saskatoon\u2019s Shelby Newkirk<\/strong> broke her own world record in the S7 100-metre backstroke in the morning preliminaries, then went even faster in the evening finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so excited about it all,\u201d said the 22-year-old who has generalized dystonia, a progressive neurological disorder similar to Parkinson\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Newkirk began the day timed in one minute, 21.42 seconds, which knocked .01 off the world mark she set last year at the Para-swimming Canadian Open in Toronto. She returned in the evening and sliced another 1.29 seconds off the record.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis morning I was really happy with my last 30 metres but the first bit I knew I could work on,\u201d said Newkirk. \u201cI knew if I could get that first 50 faster I would be able to beat it no problem. I\u2019m going to keep training and try and go as fast as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aurelie Rivard<\/strong> of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, served notice her world record in the S10 100-m freestyle is in her sights. Rivard, who won three gold medals at the 2016 Rio Paralympics, finished the multi-class 100-m freestyle in 1.00.42, just .35 off her world mark.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery since I broke (that record) three years ago I wanted to break it again,\u201d said Rivard. \u201cIt\u2019s on my mind every year. I would like to be break it. It\u2019s been there long enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Para-swimming legend Benoit Huot<\/strong> reached the podium twice. Huot was second in the multi-class 100-m freestyle in 57.73 seconds then returned to finish third in the multi-class 100-m backstroke in 1:05.01.<\/p>\n

Huot, an S10 swimmer who has won 20 medals competing at five Paralympics, hasn\u2019t decided how much longer he will swim.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not getting any younger,\u201d said the 34-year-old, who is expecting the birth of his first child this fall and plans to pursue an executive MBA at Queen\u2019s University.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife will definitely change in the next few weeks . . . with a little girl coming in the fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Rio I knew every moment I have the opportunity to swim and to race I need to embrace and enjoy because this could be it. I know that I\u2019m close to the end. It\u2019s been a great adventure. The only word that comes to mind right now is grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n
