Trinidad and Tobago’s swimming sensation, Dylan Carter, is set to make waves at the 2025 World Aquatics Swimming World Cup as he prepares for the third leg of the competition in Toronto, Canada, starting October 23. The 29-year-old athlete has already showcased his prowess in the earlier stages of the tournament, securing two bronze medals and demonstrating consistent performance across multiple events. In the first leg held in Indiana on October 11, Carter clinched bronze in the men’s 50-meter backstroke. He followed this up with another bronze in the 50m freestyle final during the second leg in Illinois on October 17. Additionally, Carter has achieved notable placements, including fourth in the 50m freestyle and fifth in the 50m butterfly finals in Indiana, as well as a joint fifth-place finish in the 50m backstroke finale in Illinois. In Toronto, Carter will commence his campaign in the 50m freestyle, competing in lane five during the sixth and final heat, scheduled for 12.07 pm (TT time) on October 23, with the final set for 7.09 pm the same day. The competition promises to be fierce, with American Chris Guliano and Canada’s Ilya Kharun having already set impressive times in the previous legs. Carter will also participate in the men’s 50m backstroke heats on October 24 and the 50m butterfly heats the following day, as he continues his quest for glory on the international stage.
