A Day in the Life of Syla Swords, Young Canadian Basketball Rising Star

We travelled to Long Island Lutheran High School to spend the day with Senior Women's National Team (SWNT) Member Syla Swords, who completed a historic senior season with her high school team while helping Canada qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Watch to learn more about her family life and what basketball means to her.

We need something following all the top Canadians from the 2028 WNBA draft.

She's cute

[@OsirusIrdia]

Who?

[@vraiking]

#4 Ranked 2024 class high school recruit who will play for Michigan next year. Also a member of Canada U-19 and Senior National Team.

[@TheDisruptiveOne]

Hopefully a future star for Canada. Already someone that helped them qualify for the Olympics in 5x5.

@@TheDisruptiveOne The 2024 class has a lot of good players. Syla Swords is the best we have, then #9 recruit Jordan Lee is another guard who committed to Texas has a Canadian mom and went to SR training camp too but also made team USA U-18s so we’ll see which country she chooses, #10 Toby Fournier is forward who’s going to Duke and wasn’t at camp (probably cause she’s so raw) but she can dunk, #16 Avery Howell is a forward going to USC and was also at camp, #77 Delaney Gibb is a PG who’s going to BYU and also went to camp and #97 Jasmine Bascoe is another PG who’s going to Villanova was at camp. Toronto’s WNBA team will have no shortage of talent if they tank and trade everything for the 2028 draft. 🤣
