Kylie Jacqueline Masse, born on January 18, 1996, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, is an accomplished Canadian competitive swimmer. She is recognized for her proficiency in backstroke events and has achieved significant milestones throughout her career, including five Olympic medals, three World Aquatics championships, three Commonwealth Games gold medals, and a Pan Pacific title in the 100-metre backstroke.
Masse began her swimming journey at a young age with the Windsor Essex Swim team. Despite not achieving early success in junior ranks, and being rated 201st globally in 2014, her potential was recognized by the University of Toronto, where she was recruited to join their swim team. Her performance escalated rapidly, earning her the CIS swimmer of the year award in both 2015 and 2016. A significant turning point in her career came in 2015 when, despite not qualifying for the Pan American Games, she was selected for the 2015 Summer Universiade in Gwangju. Here, at just 19 years old, she won a gold medal in the 100m backstroke, marking her first senior international success and boosting her confidence for future competitions.
Her breakout moment continued at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, where she secured a bronze medal in the 100m backstroke, setting a new national record. Masse further solidified her standing in the sport by becoming the first Canadian woman to win a swimming world title at the 2017 World Aquatics Championships in Budapest, also breaking an eight-year-old world record in the 100m backstroke. She successfully defended this title at the 2019 World Aquatics Championships and later added a third World Aquatics title in the 50m backstroke in 2022. Masse has continued to achieve, collecting multiple medals across various international competitions, and becoming the first Canadian female swimmer to medal in three consecutive Olympic Games at Paris 2024, holding the Canadian record for the most medals at World Aquatics’ short course and long course world championships with a total of twenty-one.
