He's the youngest US swimmer to go pro. Phelps was 15 when he went pro, but at that point he was already an Olympian.

B I N G O!!!
i did not go to world champ trails at age 14. because they were not that year! but i did at age 15. i remember it very vividly.
sitting in the stands for finals (nope didnt make consoles either) and watching Craig B. put a whooping on the field and set a new WR.
i also vividly remember saying to myself how someday i was race against him. took almost 2 more years.
nowadays, i dearly look forwards to seeing Beards at convention in the Swim Across America booth and the two of us old, fat guys, chatting and having a beer in the evenings talking about butterfly.
