Remarkable Swims is a thread to discuss swims by swimmers of all ages that are remarkable. These swims might or might not be records, but there's something about them that's remarkable and worth sharing.
Like yesterday at the 2012 Far Western Championships 3/29/2012 - 4/1/2012
in Event 8 Boys 13-14 200 Yard Freestyle
=== Preliminaries ===
1 Rooney, Maxime P 13 PLS-PC 1:42.30 1:42.54
23.47 49.34 (25.87) 1:15.62 (26.28) 1:42.54 (26.92)
here's what he did in finals
Event 8 Boys 13-14 200 Yard Freestyle
=== Finals ===
1 Rooney, Maxime P 13 PLS-PC 1:42.54 1:40.06 11
23.34 49.25 (25.91) 1:14.64 (25.39) 1:40.06 (25.42)
I've never heard of a 13 year old going that fast in the 200 sc FR and that to me is remarkable!
excellent splitting too.
Please share ones you think are
That is an awesome swim. Interestingly, the NAG record in the event is 1:38.94 by Nick Silverthorn who set the record in 2010 and swims for the same team as Maxime Rooney! I have a feeling Rooney is going to break that record since he's got another year in the age group.
