I had a swimmer by the age of 4. I coach the Auburn Stingrays. She's the youngest I have ever seen on a competitive roster.

My son, has just turned 7 years old and has been swimming competativly for the past three years, he has won first place in all races he has joined. In our region ( we live in Lebanon) he is the youngest.

many thanks for your reply, my son joshua is now nearly seven, but at the time of my previous email regarding young swimmers he was nearly two and a half and had just managed to do his 5 and 10 meters on the same day. i thought that was pretty cool him being so very young.

I have a 3 year old daughter that swims competitively on our neighborhood summer league.

She started lessons in January and began swim team in April.
