Island swimmer Bagshaw to do double duty at worlds and Pan Am Games
Jeremy Bagshaw of Victoria, one of the true battlers on the Canadian national swim team, will do double duty this year at the FINA world aquatics championships July 14-30 in Fukuoka, Japan, and Pan American Games from Oct. 20 to Nov. 5 in Santiago, Chile.
He’s not too shabby in the pool, either, and at 31 is showing consistency and staying power. Bagshaw has represented Canada in the Commonwealth Games in 2022 at Birmingham, England, and as a two-time finalist in 2018 at Gold Coast, Australia. Also named to the 2023 Santiago Pan Am Games swim team is Keir Ogilvie of Victoria, a graduate of Claremont Secondary who swims for the UBC Thunderbirds, and former University of Victoria Vikes star Danielle Hanus, a multiple medallist in the last Pan Am Games in 2019 at Lima, Peru.
Not every swimmer will contest both the worlds and Pan Ams like Bagshaw. For instance, McIntosh will race worlds but skip the Pan Am Games.
