For some athletes, winning an Olympic or Paralympic medal means they have reached the summit of their career. For Nicolas-Guy Turbide<\/strong>, claiming a bronze in the 100-metre backstroke at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games just gave him a glimpse at the further heights he planned to climb.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it opened my eyes in some ways,\u201d said Turbide. \u201cYes, I managed to get on the podium in Rio but there are many other accomplishments I need to look up to for the next couple of years (like) having a great process and to keep performing at the highest level and to keep improving at the highest level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Competing at the Pan PacificPara Swimming\u00a0Championships in Cairns, Australia, Turbide won two gold medals, a bronze and a silver. That performance is one reason why the 21-year-old Quebec City native has been named Swimming Canada\u2019s Male Para-swimmer of the Year for 2018.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second time Turbide has received the honour. His coach, Marc-Andre Pelletier<\/strong> at the Club de Natation Region de Quebec, receives the corresponding Coach of the Year award.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a reward for the hard work I put into the sport, the dedication I have every day to follow my goals and reach my goals,\u201d said the visually impaired swimmer who competes in the S13 category. \u201cIt\u2019s always good to get recognized for the great work that I put in, in and outside the pool. It\u2019s just the cherry on the cake.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Cairns, Turbide won gold in both the 100-m back, setting an Americas and Canadian record, and the 200-m individual medley. Showing his diversity, he took a silver in the 50-m freestyle in Canadian record time and swam a personal best to claim bronze in the 100-m butterfly.<\/p>\n

At the 2018 Canadian Swimming Trials in Edmonton Turbide won the Para multi-class 50-m freestyle and broke his own Canadian record.\u00a0He also won gold in the 100-m backstroke.<\/p>\n

Vince Mikuska<\/strong>, senior coach for the Paralympic program, said the results show Turbide is expanding his swimming repertoire.<\/p>\n

\u201cNicolas-Guy had another good year, moving forward in all of his events,\u201d said Mikuska. \u201cThat\u2019s been good for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw some technical changes that he hasn\u2019t been able to make in the past that he has taken care of this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides his strides in the water, Turbide has also grown outside the pool. The quiet teenager who made his first appearance on the national Para-swimming squad at the 2011 Parapan American Games in Guadalajara has matured into a respected team leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you ask our national team who is the most professional swimmer, it wouldn\u2019t take them five seconds to reply it\u2019s Nicolas-Guy,\u201d said Mikuska.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe does everything as well as he can. He\u2019s present every single day in all aspects of his training, whether it\u2019s activation, working in the pool, working in the weight room, his mental preparation, his knowledge of the sport. He\u2019s very professional in his approach in all areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turbide was also named the top male Para-swimmer in 2016, after winning a medal in his first Paralympics. One of the lessons he\u2019s learned since Rio is the importance of taking care of his body.<\/p>\n

During his preparation for Cairns, Turbide was bothered by a sore shoulder.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was younger, I probably wasn\u2019t doing my warmups as I was supposed to do it,\u201d he said. \u201cYou tend to have a small injury that grows into a bigger injury. You have to take a couple of steps back and fix them up as quick as you can in the most efficient way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a learning experience. For me, I think that\u2019s the part where I have improved the most in the past two years. It\u2019s something before Rio I wasn\u2019t really careful with. Now, it\u2019s one of my priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 100-m backstroke remains Turbide\u2019s best event, but he\u2019s happy with the improvements he\u2019s made in the 200-IM, freestyle and butterfly.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor\u00a0me\u00a0they are mostly fun events,\u201d he said. \u201cI think improving these events, even if they are not my main event, can make me a better swimmer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 100-m backstroke is usually held on the final day of a meet. Swimming multiple events\u00a0helps\u00a0ease the stress of waiting to compete.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had less time to think about it and I think I was ready as everyone else,\u201d Turbide said about his experience at Cairns. \u201cI think I\u2019ve learned well to adapt my training . . . and not be distracted by what\u2019s happening outside of what I\u2019m doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turbide\u2019s focus in 2019 will be the WorldPara Swimming\u00a0Championships beginning in July in Kuching, Malaysia. The event will attract over 600 swimmers from 70 countries and will be a step towards the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it will be a great way to see how things are looking for next year but still know many people can show up in the para system that (Paralympic) year,\u201d said Turbide.<\/p>\n

Still\u00a0in the prime of career, Turbide hasn\u2019t given much thought past 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still focusing on what I\u2019m going to do in the present moment,\u201d he said. \u201cI know I\u2019m going to still compete in this sport until I don\u2019t like it anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m loving what I\u2019m doing. Making all the sacrifices are totally worth it right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
