If 2020 taught Maddy Archer<\/strong> anything, it\u2019s not to get too invested in futures that might not come.<\/p>\n

Archer is excited at having the 2021 Canadian Olympic Trials in her sights, nabbing spots at the invite-only meet<\/a> in the 800 freestyle and 1500 freestyle. But as the setting of a recent interview \u2013 her home in Ottawa, when she should\u2019ve been in the heat of a college season at the University of New Mexico \u2013 indicates, plans can change.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a lot different because anything could happen because Swimming Canada has reserved the right to change it or cancel it at any time, so I\u2019m a little bit nervous about that,\u201d Archer said last week via Zoom. \u201cBut I\u2019m also excited to hopefully be able to compete.\u201d<\/p>\n

If that doesn\u2019t come to pass \u2013 Archer spoke to Swimming World<\/em> before Swimming Canada postponed Trials to May and provisionally nominated six swimmers to the squad<\/a> for the Tokyo Olympics \u2013 it would be the latest obstacle that Archer has tried to take in stride.<\/p>\n

A member of the high school class of 2020, Archer hasn\u2019t had the last 11 months she\u2019d hoped for. She was in Arizona at an altitude training camp with her club, Nepean Kanata Barracudas, last March when the dominoes of COVID-19-related closures started falling. She returned to Canada but didn\u2019t get back into the pool until July. It wasn\u2019t until the late fall that she was back to the usual distance workload of nine workouts and 18 hours a week in the pool, a particularly difficult challenge for a distance freestyler\/individual medley specialist.<\/p>\n

Archer, a native of Halifax, Nova Scotia, who moved to Ottawa at age 16 and graduated from John McCrae Secondary, spent the fall at the University of New Mexico<\/a>. But the Lobos didn\u2019t compete in that semester. On Jan. 13, the school announced it wouldn\u2019t pursue meets in the spring either, halting the program for the season<\/a> and redshirting all athletes on a roster comprising swimmers from nine countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was sad to hear the news for the girls that had gone back and were ready to compete and do their thing, and honestly I would\u2019ve loved to compete,\u201d Archer said. \u201cI was excited to contribute in Mountain Wests with my friend Josie<\/strong> (Carpenter<\/strong>). I was really excited about that. But it\u2019s just the whole situation, it was better to just not compete given the circumstances of the training that we had there.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Trials looming, Archer had taken herself out of the picture, staying in Canada to train from late November on. While she\u2019s missing her first chance at the college swimming experience, she\u2019s making the most of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting back into it was really hard, but I think overall, even though it wasn\u2019t the best situation, it definitely gave everyone the chance to work on different life skills, work on mental health, that kind of thing,\u201d she said. \u201cI know it definitely gave me that chance, so that was kind of nice. But it was definitely weird from the swimming aspect, not being in the pool after doing basically 14 years of swimming all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Archer has had to adjust, but she\u2019s not alone. Her usual training group at NKB has been culled from around 25 to just five, among them fellow Trials invitees Megan Wheeler<\/strong> and Mia Zahab.<\/strong> Zahab, like Archer, cut short her season as a sophomore at Washington State<\/a>. Five NKB swimmers (two men along with the three women) were among the top-20 invitees to Trials.<\/p>\n

Archer is a longshot for the Games, seeded 17th in the mile and 20th in the 800 free. She finished 10th and 11th, respectively, in those events at Trials in 2019. She\u2019s a little concerned about her dearth of recent racing, with just a time trial in practice in December before she was fully back into the full swing of distance. If Trials happen in the spring, she\u2019ll be looking for additional racing to prep.<\/p>\n

But behind it all, Archer knows she\u2019s at the beginning of her college career. A silver lining in all the obstacles is the hope of better days post-pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to get better from here on out, which is what I keep going in the back of my head,\u201d Archer said, \u201cthat it will get better and we\u2019re not always going to be in this situation of uncertainty and weird training times and not training enough.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
