Summer McIntosh<\/strong> quickly transformed into one of the best middle distance and distance freestylers in the world.<\/p>\n

But the Canadian teen phenom is more than a freestyler.<\/p>\n

McIntosh proved that on Thursday at the TYR Pro Swim Series Fort Lauderdale stop, breaking the world junior record and, Canadian record U.S. Open record in the 200 butterfly.<\/p>\n

McIntosh, swimming for the Sarasota Sharks, finished in 2:05.05.<\/p>\n

She split 27.76, 32.49, 31.69 and 33.11 to close over a second faster than the field. Sandpipers’ Bella<\/strong> Sims<\/strong> was second in 2:09.89.<\/p>\n

It was part of a banner 200 butterfly day for Canada as Ilya Kharun<\/strong> broke the Canadian record in the men’s race just minutes later.<\/p>\n
