Recently, SwimSwam got the opportunity to travel down to Charlottesville, VA to do a bit of filming. This included going to the new-look Cavalier Aquatics under head coach Gary Taylor and getting a peak at what then 14-year-old (he has since aged up to 15) NAG-record slayer Thomas Heilman is doing in workouts. This is just a preview of what Heilman dropped in this speed set… full practice video coming tomorrow.

Schooling went 47.9?
Thomas is a great young man and so is his brother. I am not sure posting practice swims helps in his or anyones development at his age.
You’re right on brother. Let him have fun, have fast swims in practice, without the pressures!!!!
Yeah, well, I went a 1:08 from a push in practice with a beard, drag suit, and no cap last week, so I’m basically just as fast in the 100 fly.

Jk, that’s a ridiculous practice time!
Put a cap on him and that’s a 47.5 lol
Coleman, he turned 15 in early February. He’s not 14 anymore.
It’s wrong on the youtube video as well.
Coleman was in Charlottesville in January, when he was still 14.
Then you should have uploaded the video in January, when he was still 14 and 11 months.
It should at least be mentioned somewhere that it was in January.
You do realise he remains the same age in the video no matter when it was posted…

Why people like you try to outsmart others if you know nothing?
Hah, at first I thought Minimalist was being snarky – saying Coleman was 14 (not Thomas Heilman). Cuz, Coleman and his boyish good looks!
Sadly, Minimalist wasn’t that smart and just didn’t understand how to count.
The guy swimming freestyle next to him just switched sports! 🙂
Live from the SwimSwam remote office in Charlottesville, Va. 😜
In fairness Charlottesville is a good place to get stuck for any period of time. Great college town, beautiful area.
Dang, you can’t let his brothers commitment post last longer then a day without lil bro coming in hot an taking over the newsfeed.
