Tobias Oriwol (born May 13, 1985)[1] is a Canadian backstroke swimmer who competed in two consecutive Summer Olympics in 2008 and 2012.
Tobias swam in the semifinals of the men's 200-metre backstroke at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, and afterward retired to focus on his urban planning degree.[2] He returned to competition in 2010 and qualified to compete at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, and again advanced to the semifinals of his signature 200-metre event. He also swam in the preliminary heats of the 4x200-metre freestyle relay as a member of the Canadian team in that event.[3]
