Dominika Kopcik

Dominika Kopcik, born 27 October 1988 in Toronto, Ontario, grew up in Surrey, British Columbia and began synchronised swimming for fun at age 10. Over the next five years she took this sport by surprise. At 14 she became a national champion, earning her spot to compete in the Canada Games 2003, where she cleaned up all around. By that next spring she had once again won National championships and made her first Canadian National team. Dominika would then go off to compete at the 2004 Fina Junior World championships.

Following that summer she became Canada’s youngest member to ever make the Canadian National Olympic team, at the age of 15. She quickly secured her place by becoming flyer of the team alongside duet partner. Over the next 4 years went on to compete for Team Canada at the 2005 FINA World Championships, 2007 Pan American Games and finishing her career off with an outstanding 4th place finish at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
