It takes a lot of dedication and sacrifice to become an Olympic athlete. Many hours of hard work have apparently paid off for two swimmers from Charleston.

Nate Carr and Morgan Carr are a brother-sister duo. They're getting the opportunity of a lifetime to compete in Olympics. They attend Charleston Catholic High School and participate in the HYCAT program in Charleston. HYCAT stands for Huntington YMCA Charleston Aquatic Team.

The Carr's have been training in the early mornings and late evenings. Now to they're heading to Omaha, NE, to compete in the U.S. Olympic trials. They're hoping to earn slots on the U.S. Swim Team.
