MONTREAL \u2014 Summer McIntosh broke the longest-standing individual women\u2019s swimming world record Sunday night, finishing the 200-meter butterfly in 2 minutes 1.65 seconds at the Canadian trials.<\/p>

The 19-year-old McIntosh broke the mark of 2:01.81 set by China\u2019s Liu Zige in 2009 during what\u2019s known as the super-suit era.<\/p>\n

A three-time champion at the 2004 Paris Olympics, McIntosh slammed her fists into the water in celebration while smiling ear-to-ear as the crowd erupted inside the Olympic pool.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the one world record that I\u2019ve always dreamt of as a kid,\u201d McIntosh said. \u201cTo now do it is really incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

McIntosh has long targeted the record, coming within 0.18 seconds with a time of 2:01.99 last year in the world championships.<\/p>

\u201cI could tell on the last 50 that I must have been close to the world record just based off how loud the crowd was,\u201d said McIntosh, who finished 8.5 seconds ahead of runner-up Mary-Sophie Harvey. \u201cThat really kept me going and motivated me to get to the wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

The race Sunday was the first opportunity for many Canadian fans to see McIntosh compete since her high-profile move to train in Austin, Texas, under Bob Bowman, the coach who guided Michael Phelps to a record 23 Olympic gold medals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always special,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cThey\u2019re very few and far between, even with swimmers like Summer. It\u2019s hard to get there. It\u2019s fun to see her start the meet off that way. I think she\u2019ll have some other good events as well, so it should be fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

McIntosh will compete in the 400 IM on Monday, the 400 free on Tuesday and the 200 IM on Wednesday ahead of the Pan Pacific Championships in Irvine, California.<\/p>
