A Filipina teen has proven her swimming abilities after she successfully clinched five gold and one bronze medals in the 2019 United Nations International School (UNIS) Invitational Swimming Championship held in Vietnam.

Micaela Jasmine Mojdeh, from Brent International School-Laguna, claimed the Most Outstanding Swimmer award in the girls’ 13-year-old category, says a report from The Manila Times.

The gold medals she earned were from the 200-meter freestyle event, 100-meter Individual Medley, 50-meter butterfly, 50-meter breaststroke, and 100-meter butterfly.
