About Ingrid Wilm

Born 1998. Ingrid Wilm is a Canadian swimmer.

Ingrid Wilm (born 8 June 1998) is a Canadian swimmer, specializing in the backstroke. Internationally, Wilm competed in the women's 50 metre backstroke event at the 2018 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m), in Hangzhou, China. While attending the University of British Columbia, Wilm was part of the Canadian team for the 2019 Summer Universiade and won a bronze medal as part of the 4×100 m medley relay. After this, she opted to stop training in Vancouver and returned to Calgary and her prior coach David Johnson.

Wilm qualified for the Canadian team for the 2022 World Aquatics Championships, her first appearance at the World Championships, and reached the event final of the 50 m backstroke after coming fourth in the semi-finals. She finished fourth, 0.03 seconds behind bronze medalist Analia Pigrée of France. Wilm then competed the backstroke leg for Team Canada in the heats of the 4×100 m medley relay, helping the team qualify to the final in fourth position. She was replaced in the final by Kylie Masse, but shared in the team's bronze medal win.

Concluding the year at the 2022 World Swimming Championships in Melbourne, Wilm performed the backstroke leg for the Canadian team in the heats of the mixed 4×50 m medley. She was replaced by Masse in the final, and shared the team's bronze medal win. She claimed her first individual medal at the championship in the 100 m backstroke, tying for bronze with American Claire Curzan. On the last day of competition Wilm swam the backstroke leg for Canada in the final of the 4×100 metre medley relay and earned her third bronze medal of the championships.

At the 2023 Canadian swimming trials, Wilm upset Masse for the gold medal in the 100 metre backstroke, her personal best time of 58.80 the first time she had ever gone under 59 seconds. She finished second in both the 50 and 200 metre distances. She reached the final of the 50 m backstroke next, coming sixth. Wilm did not make it out of the heats of the 200 m backstroke, but for the second consecutive championships she earned a bronze medal swimming in the heats of the 4×100 m medley relay.

While many of Canada's top swimmers opted to skip the 2024 World Aquatics Championships in Doha, Wilm was named to the team. She reached the final of the 100 m backstroke and won the bronze medal, out-touching fourth-place Jaclyn Barclay of Australia by 0.10 seconds. This was Wilm's first individual World Aquatics medal, which she called "pretty special." Two days later she won a second bronze medal in the 50 m backstroke, narrowly beating Briton Lauren Cox by 0.04 seconds. With Masse absent, Wilm was Canada's backstroke swimmer in the finals of the 4×100 m medley relay, winning another bronze medal.
