BIG SMILE: Jessica Fullalove shows off her three Youth Olympic silver medals.
Swimming: IT has been am amazing summer for rising Royton swimming star Jessica Fullalove.
But now she has finally found time to concentrate more on her academic studies.
After soaking up the experience of her first senior Games event at the Commonwealths in Glasgow, backstroke specialist Jess headed straight off to the Youth Olympic Games in early August and won three silver medals.
But after a summer of sport the 18 year old is now back home - and studying hard for her A levels at Crompton House school, while training and competing where she can.
Jess will travel to Bristol for a four-day backstroke clinic shortly, and in November she will compete for her City of Manchester Aquatics team in a prestigious meeting in Italy.
