SINGAPORE — Reid Maxwell reached the podium in his first world-championship race, while fellow Canadians Danielle Dorris and Mary Jibb picket up their third medals Friday at the world para swimming championships.

Maxwell swam to silver in the men’s SM8 200-metre individual medley in a Canadian record time of two minutes 26.72 seconds. The 18-year-old from St. Albert, Alta., made his world championship debut after claiming silver in the men’s 400 freestyle at the 2024 Paris Paralympics.

Dorris followed with a bronze in the women’s S7 50 freestyle and Jibb finished third in the women’s S9 100 backstroke.

The 23-year-old Dorris, from Moncton, N.B., now has nine world championship medals after earning a gold, a silver and a bronze in Singapore.

The 18-year-old Jibb has a gold and two bronze in her world-championship debut.

Canada’s second straight three-medal day at the para swimming worlds gives it 11 (two gold, two silver, seven bronze) heading into the final day of competition.
