HUNTER STEWARDSON

Hunter Grace Stewardson is a proud Indigenous athlete from Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek First Nation, which is located on Lake Nipigon, Ontario.

Hunter has been swimming since she was 7 years old, and she just finished her first year of varsity swimming at the University of Lethbridge where she was awarded MVP for the woman’s swim team. Before swimming, Hunter enjoyed gymnastics, dance, and horseback riding.

In 2017, Hunter competed in the North American Indigenous Games held in Toronto, where she placed top three in all 9 events she swam. The NAIG sees over 5,000 participants from 13 nations competing in 14 core sports.

After her success at NAIG she decided to take the sport more seriously and she continued training for the national championships. Hunter has always had a passion for swimming; her dedication to the sport and competitive mindset is what made her the athlete she is today.
