Giles Smith Breaks Independent High School Swimming Record in the 50 Free

[nbacswimmer]

He's not even good at swimming

[iSharkGod]

I grew up on the same swim team as him :) good times

[kevin12161995]

Hey smokeycanon let me dream! Lol

[Slash116ricky15]

@kevin12161995 yup when i was a freshman i was doing 24.89 as my fastest now im doing 23.20 as a junior so the only thing u can do is dream

[kevin12161995]

@Slash116ricky15 just to let you know I have given up swimming since i posted that comment lol

[Slash116ricky15]

@kevin12161995 oh... sorry didnt know. why did u give up???

[noob1780]

umm i cant even tread water let alone do that lol i can do the strokes pretty well except for side stroke but i cant do the underwater turn around thingy

[Slash116ricky15]

not trying to be racist but in the sport of swimming you dont really see alot of black people. all the meets ive been to there is probably only 1 black person on the team we face. only a couple have been any good. but wow a 19 is fast. the fastest i can do is a 23.89

[kevin12161995]

holy shit mines only 24 lol. but im a freshman ;)

[smokycannon]

@kevin12161995 still not great for a freshman haha

[kevin12161995]

@smokycannon thanks broooo dude i bet your like an olympic swimmer that swims 7 days a week twice a day who has no life!

[smokycannon]

@kevin12161995 not quite. still trying to get there.

[000supernova]

i was there. i remember watching this. everyone was mindblown lol

[nukefier32]

Holy shit fast black guy hahaha

[tubedude03]

@nukefier32 Yeah man black people can own you running... and SWIMMING

[aaacacaas]

Hes got a crazy fast kick

[kixigvak]

That guy is fast. What's he do for 100?

[clarissas123]

crazy :0

[Moonman3190]

OMG GILES YOU ARE SO FAST- from you x captain

[zGlueStickz]

that dudes a beast

[my4x4byfar]

he is 17y.o until end of Nov 2009

[andylaurel]

He's fast. How old? 18?

[dreamscometrue30989]

Wow hes really fast fo sho. But his stroke looks really inefficient. Still im jealous

[KOREANBECK]

hes fast but hes not going to drop time, when 50 freestyle gets faster your stroke count has to get less... NCAA swimming are taking 9 strokes out and 14 back..... this kid is taking 13 and 17 back.... theres a lot of difference

[Diaper1rash]

holy shit thats crazy fast National level

[gold5000000]

thats got to be a yard pool

[hcaravan]

Yes its yards.

hcaravan2

[swimdfree]

Great stuff. Tweek that stroke to clean it up a little more and he's gonna be a force to reckon with on the national level.

[joebrochill92]

um are you kidding? he IS the national level

[waterboy0847]

Yeah, but he was saying that he'd be "a force to reckon with," which would imply that he'd need to be a 19 flat or faster.

[joebrochill92]

if youre talking hs level, he was the fastest in the nation last year, I believe. if your talking division 1 ncaa, he'll definitely qualify

[waterboy0847]

I was talking about Nationals, not NCAA. Of course he'll qualify for NCAA. He might even final. But, he certainly won't be one of the top contenders at Nationals.

[joebrochill92]

I'm pretty sure he won J Nats? although he couldnt mess with my main man matt belecanech in any other events. not even the 100

[brststroka]

congrats Giles!!!!!!!!!!!!!
