Ena Morrisseau is a four-year member of the Parkland Gators Swim Club and is enjoying her first year in the competitive group.
The Dauphin standout added swimming to her packed schedule a few years back and hasn’t looked back—she thrives in the grind, from intense practices to fierce competitions, repping the Gators with pride.
"There's a lot of different people from different places around Dauphin, so it's nice to meet and swim with them," said Morrisseau.
Ena's favourite event is the 100m backstroke but it was a different event that saw her reach the podium. During an event last year in Brandon, Ena finished with a gold medal in the 50m backstroke. It was the first time she finished in first.
"I had never won first place before so when I got out of the pool and realized I finished on top, it was extremely special."
Ena also plays volleyball at Mackenzie Middle School and in the Dauphin Rec Hockey League. Her goals this year include improving her swimming techniques and her A time. When it comes to a post-game meal after a meet, Ena heads to the Pit.
"If we're in Winnipeg or Brandon, I like a nice Booster Juice and Pita Pit," ended Morriseau.
