Bio
Delphine Vandal was named Team MVP three times and the distance freestyle specialist from Shelburne, Vermont, currently holds seven team records. She is one of just two women's swimmers in team history to twice win five conference medals in a single season, which she accomplished in 2018-19 and 2019-20.
She captured the RSEQ gold medal in the 800m freestyle in 2019 and the 400m freestyle in 2020, as well as a gold in the 4x200m freestyle relay in 2020. Vandal's total of 14 conference medals in her career ranks her tied for second in women's team history.
At nationals Vandal swam in seven A finals, notably placing fourth in the 800 free in 2019 and fifth in both the 400m and 800m free in 2020. 2020 was the best-ever finish at nationals for the women's team (6th), and Vandal's five-medal performance at the RSEQ Championships in 2019 helped lift the team into second place overall. Vandal earned a Bachelor's degree in Communication and Sociology and then a Master's in Organizational Communication from uOttawa.
