Summer McIntosh

Summer McIntosh is a Canadian competitive swimmer. A four-time World Aquatics champion and two-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist, she is the current world record holder in the women's 400 metre individual medley.

McIntosh first drew recognition when, at age 14, she was the youngest member of the Canadian team for the 2020 Summer Olympics, where she achieved a notable fourth-place finish in the 400 metre freestyle. The following year she became the youngest World Aquatics champion in swimming in over a decade, and the first Canadian to win two gold medals at a single World Championships, for which she was dubbed a "teen swimming sensation." In March and April 2023, in the span of five days, she set her first and second world records, in the 400 metre freestyle and 400 individual medley events, at the Canadian national trials.

McIntosh is the daughter of Greg McIntosh and former Canadian Olympic team swimmer Jill Horstead. Her older sister Brooke is a competitive pair skater. (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0)
