“Summer was two weeks long” says Penny back at school

Penny Oleksiak was back at school Tuesday with kids all across Toronto and it felt a bit funny because “summer was two weeks long,” she told reporters. The medal-winning Olympic swimmer returned to the halls of Monarch Park Collegiate on Hanson Street just off Coxwell Ave. She told CTV: “I don’t want to say I am excited but I guess I am excited to see my friends and do some school work. It is going to be a lot better for me just because I can come back to school and chill out I guess. Training is going to be more normal for me (this year).” Penny had her swimming coach and principal flanking her, helpful as she tried to recall her timetable for the Grade Eleven this year.
