Noemie Thomas (born February 4, 1996)[1] is a Canadian swimmer who competes in the women's butterfly competitions.[2] She holds the Canadian national record in the butterfly over the 50 m in the short course.[3][4][5][6] Thomas also holds the Canadian junior butterfly record in the 100 m.

Career

[edit]

The Richmond, B.C., native made a big splash at the 2012 Junior Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in August in Hawaii. She took gold in the 100-metre butterfly, silver in the 4x100-m medley relay and finished fourth in the 200-m fly.

Noemie Thomas had her senior international coming-out party at the 2012 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m), held in December. She set and then beat her own Canadian record in the 50-m butterfly at the world short-course meet, finishing fourth by just 0.05 seconds in the final. She followed up by establishing a new national mark in the 100-m fly and once again finished just outside the medals in fourth.

Success continued to follow her in 2013, capped by a seventh-place finish in the 100-m butterfly at the 2013 FINA World Championships in Barcelona. She earned Swimming Canada’s 2013 Junior Female Swimmer of the Year award for her performance. She and Katerine Savard give Canada a pair of medal threats in the event.

In 2016, she was officially named to Canada's Olympic team for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[7]
