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:
He's still holding the 1,000 record ...almost 20 years later?!
1 8:48.57 Jeffrey Kostoff 1983
1983 + 20 = 2003.
Methinks it's even more impressive to hold the record almost 30 years later.
But where do they still swim the 1000? Not in high school, I don't think. Is it even still a college event, or has it been supplanted by the 1650?
Perhaps this explains the record's longevity.
