A young Donegal girl is traveling hundreds of miles each week in her bid to become a top swimmer.
Dedicated swimmer Joyce Hudy
Dedicated Joyce Hudy travels from her home in Carrick three times a week to Letterkenny to train at the Aura Leisure Centre.
The sessions begin at 6.30am and the 12 year old must get out of the bed before 5am!
Some of that dedication paid off last week when she won three medals at the prestigious Antrim Open Championship in Larne.
She won two silver medals for 200 metres individual medley and 100 metres Breaststroke and also got bronze in 100 metres backstroke.
Conor Boyce of Joyce’s club Swilly Seals says the Carrick girl has a bright future in the sport.
