Ryan Mallette will be at the helm as head coach when Canada welcomes the world to Windsor, Ont., for the FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) in December.
Mallette, head coach of the Swimming Canada High Performance Centre – Victoria, will take on the top role after serving as a team coach for Canada’s successful Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The 36-year-old has been on the senior national team staff for every major meet since 2014, and this will be his first head coaching assignment. Canada will send a 33-swimmer team to the six-day championships, which run from Dec. 6-11.
