A day after Canadian sensation Summer McIntosh completed one of the greatest weeks in swimming history with a hat-trick of world records, the Toronto teenager was already looking ahead to what comes next.

TORONTO -
The 18-year-old became the first swimmer to break three different individual long-course world records in one meet since American Michael Phelps at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when she achieved the feat at this week's Canadian swimming trials.
McIntosh, who headlines Canada's 28-member team named on June 12 for the World Championships in Singapore in July, believes she can go even faster.
"I can go over with my coach and see where to make improvements and really just use this as motivation and validation for my training so far," she said.
"Just keep pushing and moving forward and work even harder."
In a stunning statement ahead of the worlds, the triple Olympic champion continued her record-breaking over a glorious five days in Victoria, shattering world marks in the 400 metres freestyle plus the 200m and 400m individual medleys.
