The back half of the 2025 Canadian SC Championships featured a slew of impressive performances, including several new provincial records falling by the wayside over the weekend, as the competition came to a close on Sunday.

    DAY 3 RECAP

    One of the top swims on Saturday came in the first men’s event, the 400 freestyle, where Pointe-Claire’s Zachary Parise put on a dominant performance en route to setting a new Quebec Senior Record.

    Parise, 19, clocked 3:46.01 to knock two-tenths off Antoine Sauve‘s Quebec Provincial Record (3:46.21) set this past December while lowering his lifetime best of 3:47.89.

    Parise’s Pointe-Claire teammate Hugo Janvier was the runner-up in 3:49.46, marking a three-second drop from his PB starting the day (3:52.55).

    Four-time Korean Olympian Kim Seo-Yeong continued her run of victories by claiming the women’s 100 fly on Day 3, touching in 57.98 to top 16-year-old Rowynn Biffart (59.61).

    Kim, 31, owns the Korean Record of 56.87, while Biffart, an ASU commit, knocked nearly a full second off her lifetime best to break 1:00 for the first time and move into 13th all-time among 16-year-old Canadians.

    In the men’s 100 fly, RAMAC’s Eric Ginzburg clocked 51.64 to lower his best time by five one-hundredths and maintain his place as the eighth-fastest man in Canadian history.

    Ginzburg’s teammate Dillon Fernando (52.44) was the runner-up in a new best time, while 4th-place finisher Chris Weeks of the Mount Pearl Marlins Swim Club posted a time of 53.06 to set a new Newfoundland Provincial Record.

    Other Day 3 Events:

    Milton Marlin Swim Team’s Riley Tofflemire won the women’s 50 breaststroke in a new PB of 32.25 as the top six finishers were all within a half-second. HPC Ontario’s Apollo Hess topped the men’s 50 breast (27.02) while runner-up Lucas Morin (27.12) set a new Quebec Provincial Record for 17-year-old boys. Island Swimming’s Bridget Burton completed her sweep of the women’s backstroke events by dominating the 200 in a time of 2:06.96, lowering her previous best of 2:07.34 and ranking her #5 all-time in British Columbia. Cascade’s Cole Pratt put up an impressive time of 1:53.11 to win the men’s 200 back, his fastest in four years. Pratt has been faster nine times, all of which came between 2019 and 2021. Benjamin Loewen set a PB of 1:54.89 to place 2nd and rank #5 all-time in Ontario. Pratt also had a noteworthy 47.48 anchor leg on Cascade’s winning men’s 4×100 free relay, running down CAMO for the victory.

    DAY 4 RECAP

    The final day of competition kicked off with the women’s 200 IM, where Kim Seo-Yeong wrapped up her standout meet with her fourth individual victory in a time of 2:11.86. Kim owns the Korean Record of 2:06.12, set back in 2017.

    Rowynn Biffart set her second Alberta Provincial Record for 16-year-old girls of the meet, clocking 2:13.64 to lower the 15-year-old mark of 2:14.00 set by Natasha Fung in 2010. Biffart came into the meet with a PB of 2:21.00, and brought that down to 2:16.73 in the prelims—prior to the meet, her LC best time was faster than her SC time (2:19.39).

    Eric Ginzburg secured his fourth victory of the meet in the men’s 50 free, posting a time of 21.69 to lower his PB from the prelims (21.76) and move him into #4 all-time in Canada, only trailing Josh Liendo (20.76), Brent Hayden (21.34) and Yuri Kisil (21.37).

    Chris Weeks, 20, was the runner-up in 21.76, breaking 22 seconds for the first time and lowering his own Newfoundland Provincial Record.

    In the men’s 1500 freestyle, CAMO’s Edouard Duffy posted a time of 14:58.21 to book a 10-second win and take down the Quebec Provincial Record of 14:58.77 set by Mathis Castera in 2018. The swim marked a 21-second best time for Duffy, who had previously been 15:19.75 in December 2023.

    Other Day 4 Events:

    Olympians Swimming’s Collyn Gagne set a new best time to win a close race in the men’s 200 IM (1:58.34) over CAMO’s Loic Courville Fortin (1:58.45), while Lucas Morin (1:59.41) and Zachary Parise (1:59.82) joined them under 2:00. C.N. Region de Quebec’s Sarah Fournier completed her sweep of the women’s sprint free events by topping the 50 free in 24.51, just shy of her lifetime best (24.43) while Cascade’s Payton Kelly (24.91) set a PB to place 2nd. Richmond Hill Aquatic Club’s Veanna Bui set a personal best to win the women’s 200 breast in 2:29.66, ranking her 15th all-time among 17-year-olds in Ontario. HPC Ontario’s Apollo Hess finished off his sweep of the men’s breaststroke events in the 200, chipping eight one-hundredths off his PB in 2:08.02, keeping him at #9 all-time in Canada. In an exciting battle, Brock Niagara’s Peyton Leigh (8:43.37) out-touched Dorval Swim Club’s Tori Meklensek (8:43.46) to win the women’s 800 free, both setting new personal bests. In the men’s 4×100 medley relay, the CAMO quartet of Loic Courville Fortin (53.31), Morin (59.52), Zackariah Boulaajoul (55.09) and Maxim Iarmenco (47.97) combined for a time of 3:35.89 to lower the Quebec Provincial Record set by the CAMO squad of Courville Fortin, Morin, Boulaajoul and Antoine Sauve in November (3:37.06).
