Olympic champion Maggie Mac Neil has been named Swimming Canada's female swimmer of the year.

"It's really an honour, it means a lot to me," said Mac Neil said in a statement. "Swimming in Canada, especially for females, had increased since Rio and I think we're still on an upward trajectory.

"There are so many good swimmers on the team and just being able to swim with them, and learn from them, that means a lot to me."

The 21-year-old from London, Ont. had a breakout 2021 that saw her win a medal of every colour at the Tokyo Olympics.

She won a bronze in the 4x100-metre medley relay, silver in the 4x100 freestyle relay and a gold in her signature event, the 100 butterfly.

"To come home with a full set (of medals) was definitely amazing," she added.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 15, 2022.
