The day features a red-hot Summer racing in the women's 200-metre butterfly, an event she captured a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The women's 100m freestyle event features seven-time Olympic medallist Penny Oleksiak. In the men's 100m freestyle, Josh Liendo and Yuri Kisil will do battle, while on the Para front, six-time Paralympic champion Aurelie Rivard, competes in the women's 50m freestyle.
McIntosh continues to etch her name in history during Canadian swimming trials at the Saanich Commonwealth Place pool.
The 18-year-old shattered the world record in the women's 200-metre individual medley on Monday, touching the wall in 2 minutes, 5.7 seconds.
"I'm really just trying to take it one race at a time and really kind of cruising the heats, kind of stretching it out and then coming into every final session super, super locked in and focused," the Toronto native told CBC Sports' Devin Heroux.
"[I'm] really just motivated to put some really good times down, and overall I'm really happy with tonight," she added.

18-year-old Summer McIntosh from Toronto set the new world record time of 2:05.70 in the 200-metre individual medley Monday night in Victoria.
She becomes the first woman ever to finish under 2:06 in the event, eclipsing the previous world mark set by Katinka Hosszú of Hungary, set in 2015.
On Saturday, McIntosh broke the women's 400m freestyle world record previously held by Australian superstar Ariarne Titmus.
"I knew going into trials I could do something special in every single event and I'm really excited for [the] 200 fly tomorrow and then 400 IM," McIntosh said.
"There's definitely a lot more that I can do and achieve here, so just kind of celebrating tonight but then really just trying to calm myself down and get pumped up for tomorrow."
This latest distinction gives McIntosh the third long course world record of her burgeoning career, as she also lays claim to the women's 400m individual medley mark — an event she'll compete in on Wednesday at national trials.
McIntosh's latest historic feat impressively comes one day after setting the Canadian record in the 800m freestyle final. Her time of 8:05.07 was the third-best result in the event in women's history, but was no hindrance to her performance on Monday.
"I didn't have the best sleep last night, but I was able to get a really good nap in [and] I'm a really good napper at this point," McIntosh joked.
"Always learning how to recover between races is really important for me if I want to continue to be a multi-event swimmer, so that's definitely been my focus this trials."

Ticats add running back Brown and long-snapper Chaves, release veteran DB Dozier

Toronto Argonauts running back Kevin Brown (6) celebrates his touchdown against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats during first half CFL action in Toronto, on Friday, July 4, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sammy Kogan HAMILTON — The East Division-leading Hamilton Tiger‑Cats have added some bite to their rushing game by adding American running back Kevin Brown. The CFL club announced Tuesday that it has signed Brown and Canadian long snapper Simon Chaves and released veteran defensive back Branden Dozier. The 28-year-old Brown played three games with the Argos this season, recording 18 carries for 37 yards and a touchdown. He previously played with Edmonton, and had his best season in 2023 when he rushed for 1,141 yards and four touchdowns while catching 28 passes for 222 yards and a TD. He has rushed for 2,186 yards and six touchdowns and put up 568 receiving yards and a touchdown over 40 career CFL games with Edmonton and Toronto. He joins a Ticats rushing attack that includes feature back Greg Bell, who recently returned from a calf injury, and Canadian veteran Johnny Augustine. The 27-year-old Chaves, from Guelph, Ont., played six games with the Ottawa Redblacks this season before being released last week. He appeared in one game with the Argos last season and previously spent time with Edmonton and Winnipeg on their practice rosters. The 31-year-old Dozier, from Topeka, Kan., had 13 defensive tackles and one special teams tackle in four starts as a linebacker this season. The five-foot-eleven, 201-pound defensive back has recorded 416 defensive tackles, 75 special teams tackles, eight interceptions, five sacks, and three forced fumbles over 108 games with Montreal, B.C., Calgary and Hamilton. The Ticats take a six-game winning streak into a meeting Thursday night against the visiting B.C. Lions. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 5, 2025.
