Pre-teen turning heads in pool

Swim Manitoba

December 30, 2024

Winnipegger top-ranked 11-year-old 100 IM swimmer in Canada.

It’s not every day an 11-year-old turns heads, but Arthur Godoy is an exception.

The young Winnipeg swimmer is making a name for himself in the pool with talent his coaches say is beyond his years.

The buzz reached a new high earlier this month when Godoy etched his name in the Manitoba record books, besting a mark in the 100-metre medley — four 25-metre legs in the butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke and freestyle — that stood for 11 years in his age group.

Godoy posted a time of one minute, 8.73 seconds at the Prairie Winter International at Pan Am Pool. He now ranks as the fastest 11-year-old 100 IM swimmer in Canada.

Congratulations Arthur!
