Michael Andrew, who just turned 15 in April, has already set 57 U.S. national age group records in his young career.  He is trained by his father, Peter Andrew, perhaps the USA’s foremost practitioner of a new training system called Ultra-Short-Race-Pace Training (known as USRPT).  Michael is the youngest male swimmer ever to turn professional!
