The session will begin with the women's and men's Para 400 freestyle. Three Canadian record holders will be featured across the two events. Aurélie Rivard, Sabrina Duchesne, and reed maxwell All own national records in their respective classifications. Not only does Rivard own the Canadian Para S10 record, her 4:24.08 is also her S10 world record. She won gold at the Tokyo Games and has finished on the podium in this event at the past three Olympics. She should have no problem qualifying for the Paralympic team in the first final of these trials, but the only question for her is how fast she can swim.

Acevedo almost sealed his ticket to Paris last night with a runner-up finish and a personal best in the 100 back, so we'll see if he can take advantage of this second chance he has.
