Children swimming competitively start at a very young age, and by 12 years old, they can spend 8-11 hours a week in the pool. It is very tough for the kids and their parents to juggle school, swimming and, well, the rest that goes on in people’s lives.
This young lad is already a competitive swimmer at a regional level in England at 13!
Here he is seen in a streamline about to explode in a bout of energy.
