Join Amos Vang as he interviews Sandrine Mainville, a labour lawyer at Borden Ladner Gervais in Montreal, one of Canada’s pioneering Olympic swimmers of the 21st century!
 
Since starting swimming lessons at the age of 11, Sandrine balanced her Olympic journey with her legal journey.  Sandrine has seen it all through ups and downs and triumphs and trials.  Through the power of family and friendship, Sandrine persevered, overcame the odds, and helped lead Canada to a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in the Women’s 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay.  In doing so, Sandrine broke a 40-year medal drought in this particular event for Canada alongside Penny Oleksiak, Chantal Van Landeghem, Taylor Ruck, and Michelle Williams (now Michelle Toro).  Join Amos and Sandrine as they take a trip back in time through Sandrine’s early days as a swimmer, qualifying for the Olympics and winning an Olympic bronze medal.
 
Fun Fact: Did you know that Sandrine also took piano lessons for four years BEFORE she started swimming?
