GLASGOW, Scotland – Aurelie Rivard picked up a third freestyle medal on the final day of the Glasgow leg of the World Para Swimming World Series.

Rivard, of St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, Que., finished the 50-metre freestyle in 28.20 seconds, good for 914 points and a bronze medal in the multi-class event. Great Britain’s Alice Tai won gold with 1030 points, and Carlotta Gilli of Italy took silver with 926.

“I’m very satisfied with how I performed. It’s very important for me to be able to swim fast before the big events. Now I know what I need to work on, and what I have confidence in heading into worlds.”

Rivard’s other two medals came on Thursday and Friday in the 100-m and 400-m freestyle. Despite her success, the 22-year-old isn’t only focusing on the freestyle events leading into the 2019 World Para Swimming World Championships in London.

“I’m still working on other events, I’m not 100% sure what my schedule will look like in Tokyo or London. Obviously I love freestyle but I’m going to try to swim other events as well.”

Three other Canadians competed in the World Series event at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre in Glasgow.
