At the world aquatics championships in Budapest, Hungary, in July, Ontario-born swimmer Kylie Masse jumped into a pool and broke the women’s world record for the 100-metre backstroke.

Obviously, such a record isn’t easily accomplished.

In an exclusive video, Masse demonstrates the finer points of the backstroke and talks with Sportsnet’s Donnovan Bennett about how her record-breaking feat was accomplished.
