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:
One of the most impressive age group records is
Jesse Vassalo's 15:31.03 13-14 boys 1500 LCM FR from 1976
National age group records

The only 10 and under girls time I have beaten so far this season is the 100 yard free, and only by a couple tenths!
Chelsea Nauta FL 55.23
Thanks, Ande, for keeping things in perspective for me!
As for the 11-12 year old girls, well, Missy Franklin's 100 free 50.27 and Kylie Stewart's 200 free 1:49.64, to say nothing of Chloe Sutton's 1650 16:34.13 do not look to be in the cards for this 59 year and over boy!
