After qualifying for the team, the 18-year-old from Toronto has come to a joint decision together with Swimming Canada\u2019s high performance leadership team, that a break would better allow her to return to her highly rigorous training schedule in September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether we have worked with Penny and her support team to look at a plan for the future. Right now she will be taking a summer break following Trials. The intent is for her to return to training in September so she starts the final two years of the quad refreshed and ready to do the best she can representing herself and Canada,\u201d said Swimming Canada High Performance Director John Atkinson.<\/p>\n<p>Oleksiak rose to stardom at age 16 when she won four medals at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games \u2013 the first Canadian summer Olympian to ever accomplish the feat. She went on to win four more at the Windsor 2016 FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) and won the Lou Marsh Award as Canada\u2019s top athlete, among many accolades. She followed up with two relay bronze medals at the Budapest 2017 FINA World Championships, and three relay silvers at the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia, in April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPenny has accomplished more at her age than any young swimmer in Canadian history and it\u2019s been a very busy two years since Rio. She is a young woman with incredible potential as we look ahead to the two year push towards Tokyo,\u201d Atkinson said.<\/p>\n<p>Oleksiak joins Olympic medallist<strong> Katerine Savard<\/strong> in taking a break from the national team this summer. Atkinson pointed out that it has been a successful strategy in the past for several other swimmers including Canadian Olympic medallist Brittany MacLean, who opted out of the 2015 world championships and returned to win a medal in Rio.<\/p>\n<h2>Here is the team<\/h2>\n<p>Canada will send 50\u00a0of its top swimmers to the upcoming Pan Pacific championships after a successful Canadian Swimming Trials in Edmonton.<\/p>\n<p>The five-day national Trials wrapped up <span data-term=\"goog_735131565\">Sunday<\/span> at the Kinsmen Sports Centre.<\/p>\n<p>The Olympic program side saw 32 swimmers (18\u00a0women, 14 men) qualify for the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Tokyo <span data-term=\"goog_735131566\">Aug. 9-14<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>With Commonwealth Games medals to their credit already this year, athletes such as <strong>Kylie Masse, Taylor Ruck<\/strong> and <strong>Markus Thormeyer<\/strong> are among the names to watch. Meanwhile international medallists including<strong> Richard Funk<\/strong>, <strong>Kennedy Goss<\/strong> and <strong>Emily Overholt<\/strong> will make their returns to Team Canada, joining veterans such as<strong> Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson, Yuri Kisil<\/strong> and <strong>Kierra Smith<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to see them all improve on what they\u2019ve done here. If they improve on where they are here we are going to have a good number of athletes make finals,\u201d said Swimming Canada High Performance Director and National Coach John Atkinson. \u201cOnce you are in the final you can have a shot at winning medals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Paralympic program will send 18\u00a0swimmers (13 women, 5 men) to Cairns, Australia for the Pan Pacific Para Swimming Championships <span data-term=\"goog_735131567\">Aug. 9-13<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Para-swimming team will be highlighted by Paralympic medallists<strong> Aurelie Rivard, Tess Routliffe, Katarina Roxon<\/strong> and <strong>Nicolas-Guy Turbide<\/strong>, and world record holder<strong> Shelby Newkirk<\/strong>, bolstered by youth such as Commonwealth Games medallist <strong>Abi Tripp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There will be parts of our team that will be super competitive, we are taking world record holders,\u201d said Associate High Performance Director and National Para-swimming Coach <strong>Wayne Lomas<\/strong>, who will helm his first Canadian team back in his native Australia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re not necessarily worried about medal performances. Of course we want them. We want to see athletes that can go faster in Australia than they did here. It shows they are able to continue to progress throughout the summer and they can travel one of the longest flights you will ever do, prepare and then compete away from home and away from their normal trappings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both teams will stay in Edmonton for a two-day mini-camp before departing for their respective staging camps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a rehearsal for Tokyo 2020. The staging camp venue in Wakayama is where we will be in 2020. We will have the same support team that will go for 2020 as well. That in itself will be good, they get to know the venue, the hotel. It really is a great opportunity for that rehearsal. Thanks to Own The Podium, Sport Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee we can put together a really good rehearsal this year with everything in place due to their support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pan Pacific Championships Team<\/strong><\/p>\n<table width=\"595\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"147\"><strong>Last Name<\/strong><\/td>\n<td
