Siri Arun Budcharern (born 12 January 2002) is a freestyle swimmer from Laos. She competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in the Women's 50 m freestyle and finished 76th with a time of 32.55 seconds.[1] She did not advance to the semifinals, which required a top 16 finish in the heats.[1] [2]

Leading up to the Games, Budcharern trained in a 25 m public pool in Vientiane, half the length of an Olympic-sized venue. She had to share the pool with children taking swimming lessons while the pool deck was often covered with beer bottles from parties.[3] [4]
