She returned for the Tokyo 2020 Games and is now gearing up for her third consecutive Paralympics.
As a long-time member of the Kingston Y Penguins Swim Club, Tripp has honed her skills and will compete in the multiclass 100m breaststroke (SB8) in Paris. Heats being on Friday.
The Paralympics begin on Wednesday.
