Parksville swimmer Nicholas Bennett was named Canada’s 2023 Male Swimmer of the Year in the Paralympic program.
In just four years of international competition, Bennett has built a resume most swimmers can only dream of putting together over the course of an entire career. He broke onto the world stage at the 2019 Parapan American Games in Lima, Peru, where, at only 15, he captured four medals, three of them gold.
Bennett’s two triumphs marked the first time in over two decades, dating back to Mar del Plata 2002, that a Canadian male swimmer won two or more gold medals at the same edition of the para worlds. For his historic performance in Manchester, Bennett is named Swimming Canada’s 2023 Male Swimmer of the Year – Paralympic Program.
