These times are amazing:
Kyle van Niekerk - 13 year old!
His results were as follows:
100m Free: Gold in a winning time of 53.89 – New African and South African AG Record
50m Free: Gold in a winning time of 24.69 – a New African and South African AG Record and the fastest recorded time in the world for 13- year- olds during 2011.
Yes these are long course meters. Puts it all in perspective for us geezers :cane:

I think this is the same kid who set a bunch of age group yards records in the 11-12 year old age group.
Does South Africa have yards pools?
This is a different kid. He lives and trains in South Africa. The other kid lives and trains here in the US with his dad.
There are no yards pools in South Africa either 25m or 50m pools. In fact outside of the US there are very few yards pools if any? 25 yard pools are pretty much a US phenomenon since most of the world uses the metric system.
