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:
Yeah, he had that great 400 IM at the UltraSwim. But what about 14 year old Katie Ledecky? With the fastest US time and #4 in the world in the 800 free? www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/.../29573.asp
Kid swimming has gotten too fast. I saw a kid struggle and die last week in the 500 and he still beat my 500 time by 10 seconds and he looked pitiful, with the full-on death roll flip turn.
