P.A. woman makes splash at provincial competition
Prince Albert’s Joy Friesen has been swimming for as long as she can remember, and last weekend she returned home with a gold medal from a provincial competition held in Swift Current.
She competed in the 3,000 metre open water swim race.
“It kind of feels like I’m going back to my youth again and I’m just loving being back in the water,” she said.
Friesen started swimming when she was six years old, swam competitive as a youth, and even went to university on a swimming scholarship. The year before she went to the olympic trials.
