Sport Specific Information
Why this sport?
 A neighbour encouraged his parents to take him to the Point-Claire Aquatic Club in Montreal, QC, Canada. He was also inspired by watching Alexandre Despatie and Emilie Heymans win medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. "I was actually in gymnastics when I was four or five, just for fun I guess, I had a lot of energy when I was a kid. My neighbour was a diver, she dove at Pointe-Claire. So she talked to my parents, she recruited me and then I started getting into it. There were a couple of things you had to do to make the team, like tryouts, but from the moment I started I loved it. The people there were fun, the coaches were fun."
