 Claire Carver-Dias started synchro at a rather late age of 12. However she has developed into Canada's workhorse performing in all three events, solo, duet and team at the recent FINA World Cup in South Korea. Career highlights include senior national titles in team in 1998 and duet in 1996 and 1999. Creativity and presentation are her strengths in the sport and she is considered one of the Olympic squad's leaders.

 She has a strong partnership in duet with Fanny Létourneau. The pair have been together for two years and Carver-Dias even moved to Montréal to live with Letournéau so they could train daily. However Carver-Dias got married and returned to the Toronto area. "They are very similar in the water," said Canadian national team coach Sheilagh Croxon. "That's a special quality and takes years to develop. It indicates they are going to get better and better."
