Congrats to KSC’s own, , for getting the HPC Scholarship 👏

From :

Swimming Canada announced its 2026 High Performance Centre (HPC) Scholarship recipients.

The HPC Scholarship Program provides targeted support to athletes, helping them access world-class daily training environments at Swimming Canada’s High-Performance Centres in Vancouver and Toronto.

Selected athletes may receive up to $5,000 annually for up to two years to visit and engage with either the High-Performance Centre – Vancouver, based at the University of British Columbia, or the High-Performance Centre – Ontario, based at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre.

Athletes who commit to training full-time at one of the Centres following high school graduation may be eligible for up to $10,000 per year for three to four years to help offset training and living expenses.

“This program plays a critical role in identifying and supporting the next generation of Canadian swimming talent,” said John Atkinson, director high performance and national coach. “This funding plays a role in helping to remove some of the key barriers young athletes face at a critical stage in their development while providing them access to daily high-performance environments earlier, which is essential for long-term success on the international stage.”
