MONTREAL -- Steven Bielby, a swimmer from 鲍鱼直播, and Redmen head coach Peter Carpenter, are among 41 student-athletes and a 10-member support staff selected to represent Canada in swimming at the 26th FISU Summer Universiade from August 12-23, 2011, in Shenzhen, China.

听

It will be the second FISU Games for Bielby, a native of Pointe Claire, Que., who competed at the 2009 event in Belgrade, Serbia.Bielby had a banner season, earning all-Canadian status and capturing two gold medals at the CIS championships in Calgary last February. All individual gold medalists at the CIS meet, automatically earned an invitation to represent Canada at the FISU Games. In three trips to the CIS championships, the 21-year-old electrical engineering junior has won a school record six gold medals -- to go along with one silver and a pair of bronze medals.

听

Carpenter, a 37-year-old native of Pointe Claire, Que., just completed his second year as head coach at 鲍鱼直播. Last fall, he received a Petro-Canada coaching excellence award, given annually to recognize coaches whose athletes have excelled at world championships and/or the Olympic and Paralympic Games. He previously guided the Pointe Claire swim club and the Quebec provincial team.

听

The Canadian swim team heading to China is coming off back-to-back solid showings at the biennial event with seven medals (1-4-2) in 2009 and 10 podiums (4-2-4) in 2007 in Bangkok, Thailand.

听

No sport has brought more Universiade glory to Canada over the years. Since the inaugural Summer Games in 1959, Canadian swimmers have won 95 medals including 21 golds - both record tallies for the country.

听

The Canadian squad will be comprised of 20 female and 21 male swimmers including 30 from CIS universities, 10 from NCAA schools and one from a Quebec CEGEP institution.
