Three Faroese swimmers at World Championships

The Faroese Swimming Association has picked out three swimmers for the World Championships, to be held in South Korea on July 21-28.

They are Signhild Joensen, representing Ægir in Klaksvík, and Óli Mortensen and Alvi Hjelm, both from Tórshavn Swimming Club.

Joensen and Mortensen met the World Championship qualifying times at last month’s local championships, while Hjelm was selected based on his strong results this season.
