14-year old Carson Foster, one of the youngest males to qualify for this summer’s U.S. Olympic Trials, has swum the 2nd-fastest time in the 400 yard IM in the history of the 13-14 age group.
Swimming at the CLPR Halloween Meet on Friday, Foster swam 3:52.25, which is just short of Michael Andrew‘s National Age Group Record of 3:52.08 swum in 2014.
Foster’s time broke his own Ohio LSC Record for the age group by 6-and-a-half seconds – in March he swam 3:58.69.
Foster currently holds two National Age Group Records – the 50 meter fly for 10 & unders and as a part of the Cincinnati Marlins’ 400 meter free relay.

I’m 17 and he’s has a larger build than me
Is Michael Andrew’s best time still a 3:52.0?
4 nice strokes and a frame that should be able to add a good bit of muscle. definitely one to watch for the future
When does he age up?
Not until August.
He was 14 at a meet last year on November 13, 2015, and 13 at a meet on November 7, 2014; so, I would think he turns 15 in the next 10 days. Don’t know where you get August …
Carson Foster broke MP’s 10 and under 100 fly NAG record in long course 4 years ago, so definitely a special kid.
And as a big 400 IM fan, cool to see him develop like that and become a great IMer, like MP…. 🙂
Carson is built better than me as a 14 year old then I was at 17 years old
Right:(
