Kirstie Kasko (born 13 October 1992) is a Canadian Paralympic swimmer who competes in international level events.[1][2][3]

Kasko took a break from swimming in 2014 when she had blackouts and epileptic seizures at a swimming pool in Calgary. She was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 21. However this was not a surprise as Kirstie had six grand mal seizures at age 2.[4]
