Diane Bui Duyet, sometimes spelled "Bui-Duyet", (born 22 December 1979 in Nouméa, New Caledonia)[1] is a French/New Caledonian swimmer. Due to the New Caledonia's status as an overseas territory of France, Bui Duyet competes for New Caledonia in regional (Pacific) competitions and for France in continental and above competitions (similar to Malia Metella's situation with French Guiana).

In April 2009, she set the French Record in the long-course 50m butterfly (26.10), following up on her December 2008 setting of the European Record in the short-course (25m) 100 fly (56.50). As of June 2009, she also holds the French Record in the short-course 50 fly (25.56)

South Pacific Games (SPGs)

At the 2003 South Pacific Games (SPG), Bui Duyet was named the female Swimmer of the Meet, after she won 10 events, 5 in Games Records.[2]

2007 saw her swim at her fourth South Pacific Games. Bui Duyet had a similar performance to her one from SPG'03 at SPG'07: she won all 6 events she swam and Games Records were set in 5 of them.[3]

She has been named as one of two ambassadors for the 2011 Pacific Games which New Caledonia will host.[4]
