[@therugratstake2971]

That sadly happened to my second oldest brother Mitch and myself. We both regret it. I started at 4 quit at 8, Mitch started at 9 and quit at 17. I started when he was 13. I quit because my brother quit, he was my stretching partner lol we wouldn’t touch any one else. Mitch only practiced once a week and he still would get gold, silver, or bronze, at meets. Same for me except I practiced a little more cause I had just learned to swim, I went from the 4-8 beginner age group to the 6-11 advanced age group in 6 months . Even though I was only 5.

[@user-mo8br5sc2o]

question if he gets the height and the arm length to continue to be competitive

[@keithmagallanes3980]

Lost? Here's what to do: Make sure you tell someone where you are going and when you will be back. ... Learn a bit about your route and what to expect on it i.e. landmarks and also what dangers there are. Have a map and compass and know how to use them. Take an emergency kit just in case you get lost. Check the weather forecast and when sunset is. Make sure you have a fully charged phone with emergency contact numbers in it i.e. mountain rescue. Do not go hiking alone.

“We usually do butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle all in one practice” uhh yeah those are the strokes.. •I am a swimmer• we do a 200 im drill in our warmup. we focus freestyle at the beginning and usually go into some IM, yes sometimes we focus one stroke, but i’m saying working all strokes isn’t a big achievement.

[@taylort.7899]

I'm also a swimmer, and for a usual practice, we focus on one or two strokes, not all of them in one day. That's not including flip turns, diving, and conditioning, which we also do. It is really hard to do all the strokes in one practice because you get tired, and no amount of breaks and really help you shake off the tiredness. Also, breaststroke and freestyle are very different, and well as butterfly and backstroke, so you use some of the same muscles but in different ways, so it exercises you differently. For me, it's only five days a week (not including swim meets) so even though that sounds like a lot it's really not.

[@ch_rrysauce1892]

Reagan you know nothing about swimming at practice you do drills probably dot even know what drills are and you work on the strokes

[@taylort.7899]

Hopefully he can get pass the "stagnant" period. Alot of young talented athletes got burnt out when they peaked too fast or early. Only a handful can get pass that stage. Staying mentally strong and keep motivated is very important especially in swimming because its an individual sports unlike team sports. And the variety and the repeating of doing the same thing can get ones down easily. Respect to those who can get through these.

Just a random swimming tip: Do not and I mean do not try to test how long you can hold your breath under water for too long, and make sure to take breaths while swimming pretty often. There a condition anyone can get called shallow after blackout. Though it can happen not just shallow but deep. It’s technically where you stop breathing. And you drown pretty fast (immediately ) Be careful don’t do challenges with other sayin who can hold their breath longer. Stay safe!

[@AugieK206]

I actually believe I raced against this guy last year. Looked him up, seems like he's doing ok right now in the 15-16 age group. Really fast times ngl.

[@rmagistr]

Any update how he is doing now, 4 years later? His coach mentioned that he is at the top of the age group at that time and she is training him to be competitive against 12-year olds.

[@jerrymemes2207]

cant find him on swim cloud

[@ecurepair]

@@jerrymemes2207 His name is actually Clark Kent Apuada. You need to search Clark Apuada at swim cloud to find him.

[@honeyfromthebee]

I think it's great he has lofty goals, and I really hope things work out for him. But as a former NAG top 16 swimmer (10&under IM/fly), I can tell you a lot happens between now and then. My times in high school were decent at best. It was pretty crushing after the success I had at his age.

[@codydelafleur8202]

Whenever I see these great athletes I always think about everybody else who could do just that. If you think about it a lot of these young prodigies have had the opportunity to do a lot of their passions their whole life. I mean if I had started swim training at 6 months like Clark Kent then I’m sure I would be top of the line too. Not even just sports, all kids who have done great things at young ages just had pot luck and got parents who were able to give them the chance. If I were 8 and you gave me all the parts to build a computer and a tutorial on how to do it I.e KZbin video then I’m quite sure I could build one and say I built a PC at 7 years old and it truly wouldn’t be all that impressive. So my congratulations and respect goes to the parents for giving this kid the opportunity, and giving him something that many other just don’t have.

[@DarkLord-rs6qt]

Yeah I agree.

[@sadyrn]

I just hope he doesn’t burn out, he’s still young and has potential

[@BobanMisevic]

Well, he is 14 now and below average in California, never mind US. Best kid swimmers are usually kids whose parents were swimmers , older siblings that swim or have excellent coaching etc. They learn techniques and start and turn very early so they look amazing at young age. At about 12 this kids lose those advantages since other kids learned it too. That’s when genes, determination, mind set and hard work take over. I’m father of 2 swimmers and I have seen kids like this dominating at age 10 and being pretty good at age 12 , nowhere to be found at age 15. Not all of them, but majority of them. Having said all that, swimming is great sport for kids, makes them tough, healthy ,competitive and well built. As far as getting good enough to go to Olympics I don’t think it’s wort time and effort.

[@nathanjoe6655]

he's 179th in his class I would not say he is below average

[@BobanMisevic]

@@nathanjoe6655 i didn’t mean to put him down, he is a very good swimmer for all practical purposes. In the context of this video where he should become one of great swimmers he is below average. In competitive swimming, anyone who doesn’t have 4 A times in their even years is below average .

Big kudos to all the swimmers out there. Doing this sport is definitely not easy as others think. Well, I can't say much about it because I can't swim. Very sad, I wish I got lessons when I was younger. I feel too old to get lessons now. Any tips for those who are learning how to swim?

No days off is the rule for not alone all competitive swimmers, but also the coaches. The serious swimmer starts at a very early age. The parents life revolves around the swimmer, the pool, competitions.. Lots of sacrifice by parents.
