A day in the life

THE SWIMMER: Sycerika McMahon, 17

4.30AM: Early to rise…

Swimmers always have an early start. I get up at 4.30am, because I travel quite a distance — just over 32 miles — from Portaferry, Co Down, to my pool in Belfast. I might grab a slice of toast or something before I head out, and then we’re on the road.
