DUNOTTAR School student Polly Saines made a splash when she swam for Team GB in the 11th European Deaf Swimming Championships in Saransk, Russia.
During the week-long event, June 22-28, the 15-year-old, was awarded a certificate for coming fifth in the final of the 200 metres butterfly race with a time of 3.31.93min.
She swam in six races and gained personal bests in the 100m backstroke, 100m breaststroke and 200m butterfly.
Mother Alison Saines said: "She had a fantastic time. She swam extremely well and we are proud of her."
Saines is now training to compete in the World Deaf Championships in San Antonio, Texas in America next year.
