Tammy Cunnington added to her impressive swimming resume Friday in the fourth stop on the Para-swimming World Series circuit.

The Red Deer native earned a silver in the 50-metre breaststroke at the event in Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy, with a time of one minute and 20.60 seconds.

Cunnington was also sixth in the 50-m backstroke.

Races on the World Series circuit are multiclass and so the ranking is based on which swimmer is closest to the world record in their disability category.
