Summer Shines In Funkitas

With World Championships done and dusted, all eyes will be turning to Olympic selection trials around the world, but before that happens, we’ve got plenty to get excited about with the brand new Funkita collection Up The Ante being modelled by World Record Holder and star Funkette Summer McIntosh!

Summer picked her favourite new swimwear to showcase poolside at the Sarasota Modern Hotel set in the Rosemary Arts & Design District of downtown Sarasota.

Her favourite new Funkitas is not the only decision that Summer will be needing to make this season. Having been selective in her racing in 2024, Summer has been content to put her head down in sunny Florida with coach Brent Arckey and the Sarasota Sharks as she prepares for her second Olympic Games. But her recent outing in Orlando with a stunning 8:11 in the 800m freestyle, taking down the Canadian and Commonwealth Records as well as the legendary Katie Ledecky, has certainly raised the question of what Summer plans to race in Paris?

We can only wait to see what Summer enters at Canadian Olympic Trials which run from May 13-19. In the meantime, Summer switches her favourite Funkitas for training in sunny Florida, which she has worn since hitting the training pool in Toronto as a 10 year old, on her journey to Paris and into swimming’s history books. Go Summer!
