Kyle achieved all three personal best times – with the 200m freestyle race being an amazing 11 second PB.

Meanwhile, another Coleraine Swimming Club’s member, 12-year-old Yna Cisnero, was selected by Swim Ulster to participate in the Focus Belfast 2021 Age Group Swimming Festival which took place between heats and finals during the Ulster LC Championships.

Belfast has been awarded the VII Commonwealth Youth Games in 2021 which targets athletes who are currently between 11-14 years.

This event is held to promote the event and motivate this age group to work hard towards possible Northern Ireland representation.

Congratulations to Yna who was selected to swim in this exhibition piece last weekend. She has a very bright swimming future ahead of her.
