Alys Thomas, a sixth form pupil at The Lady Eleanor Holles School, Hampton, has been selected to represent Wales at the Commonwealth Youth Games, being held in Pune, India, in October.
The selectors were impressed with her successes at the National Youth Swimming Championships, held in Sheffield at the beginning of August, where Alys won the girls’ 16/17 years 100m butterfly, came second in the 200m butterfly and then third in the 200m freestyle.
Alys trains with Kingston Royals Swimming Club for approximately 15 hours a week, and competed at the Olympic trials in Sheffield.
