Waters, a long-time River City resident, won gold in the men's 100-metre Breaststroke and silver on the men's Medley Relay.

Already a silver medalist at the 2019 ParaPan American Games held earlier this year, Waters used these races as a test event for upcoming trials.

Up next, Waters sets his sight on the Canadian Paralympic Swimming Trials in Toronto this March.
