The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the news that a woman from Tillicoultry has been selected for the Team GB swimming team at the 2024 Paris Olympics; understands that Keanna MacInnes will travel with the team to France for the competition, and has credited her art and design course at college with helping her reach the top level; further understands that at the Olympics this year, Keanna will be aiming to reach the final of the 200- and 100-metre races, as well as the relays; understands that, originally from Edinburgh, Keanna likes to paint swimming scenes on her college course, and that she finds the creativity offered on the course to be the perfect psychological diversion from her training programme; further understands that she started swimming at the age of 13, initially at the Grove Swimming Club and then at the Heart of Midlothian Swimming Club, before landing a place at the National Swimming Academy; believes that, formerly a BSc Psychology graduate from the University of Stirling, Keanna now studies on a BA Art and Design course at Forth Valley College; considers that she will join the other 29 members of the Team GB team on 17 July 2024 for a pre-games training camp before the Olympics begin, and wishes Keanna and all her teammates all the very best of luck in their individual disciplines.
