Absolutely amazing. Very impressive.
What's most impressive is this: there's another kid, in one of the far lanes, who seems to be awfully close to the kid in the center of the camera ... This isn't a case of a single star, but a heat that's packed with fast 5-year-olds ...
Looks like he is behind the swimmer on the other side of the pool, and catches up during the swimming.
Chances are the other kid is 8; there are very few 6&U events (at least up here in Northern California) so this 5 year old kid will be seeded with kids up to 8 years old. 20 seconds isn't that amazing for an 8 year old (very good but not amazing) but for a 5 year old? Wow.
Awesome video!
Awesome Video!
Why is everybody posting compliments anonymously - Are you guys "scouts" or something?
I posted anonymously because USC is frustrated about losing out on all the good swimmers and could benefit by making friends early with the fast 5-year-olds (hey: I'm anonymous, so who can say I'm not? Besides, note that I constructed my sentences to not exactly SAY I was WITH USC).
I might, however, be anonymous because I don't have one of those other accounts...
Hmmm, maybe you are that 5-year-old? I wish I was! ^_^

Chances are the other kid is 8; there are very few 6&U events (at least up here in Northern Ca)... I'm from NorCal. All of the C/B/A+ meets here have 6/unders events. In fact, very few are 8/under seedings. The heat winner in the video from the far lane could have been 6, though, which can be a huge difference.
wow
I can clear this up - I was there. This meet was held on 8/15/09 in Irvine, CA. The kid in the far lane is age 7. This was an 8/under race. Ethan (in the center of the picture) turns 6 in January.

In any case, the kid that did all the underwater..didn't come up in the lead...he caught up after some good swimming. So he should stay under less, and swim more...
I am actually watching this video over and over to get technique pointers. LOL
