ON THE RISE - TONGAN SWIMMER NOELANI DAY

16yr old Tongan swimmer Noelani Day made history last year becoming the youngest swimmer to swim the Apolima Strait between Upolu and Savai'i at the age of 14.

She's currently swimming for Tonga at the Pacific Games and came 6th place female in the 5km Open Water out of a total of 21 open water competitors including men.  Her highlights of this games was making the 50m Breast Stroke final.

Noelani and Team Tonga take on the 50m Medley relay tonight in their last pool event of the games.

She hopes that other young Tongan women will get into sports & pursue their dreams.
