At the 2009 World Aquatic Trials in Montreal, Hawes set a new national record in the 200-metre backstroke (1:57.34), earning him a spot in the World Championship team. After competing at the World Championships and reaching 18th position, he broke the longest standing men's National record in Leeds, England in the 200-metre backstroke (SC) with a time of 1:52.21.
Hawes held the 200m Backstroke Canadian record for just over ten years until it was broken in 2019 by Markus Thormeyer at the 2019 World Aquatic Championships.

There he was working with Matt Jaukovich, previous 50m butterfly world record holder on the technical aspects of his main event (the 200m backstroke). His coach Bobby Folan was under the tutelage of Eddie Reese in Texas, where they both coached Aaron Peirsol, Garreth Weber-Gale and Brendan Hansen to the 2008 Olympic Games.
