Diane Bui Duyet


Diane Bui Duyet, sometimes spelled "Bui-Duyet", is a French/New Caledonian swimmer.

She set the record in the semi-finals of the 2009 European Short Course Swimming Championships in Istanbul, Turkey. She went on to get a silver medal in the finals with a time of 55.93 seconds.
In April 2009, she set the French record in the long-course 50m butterfly, following up on her December 2008 setting of the European record in the short-course 100 fly. She also held the French record in the short-course 50 fly.
