Since 2018, the Cavalier Aquatics (Va.) swimmer has collected more than his fair share of records in the boys\u2019 10-and-under, 11-12 and 13-14 age groups.<\/p>\n<p>The number of records over the years in freestyle and butterfly is a testament to his work ethic:<br \/>\n<strong>10- and-under<\/strong>\u2014Short Course: 100 yard butterfly (58.36)<br \/>\n<strong>11- 12<\/strong>\u2014Short Course: 50 freestyle (21.50), 100 freestyle (47.15), 200 freestyle (1:44.28), 50 butterfly (22.87), 100 butterfly (50.82) and 200 butterfly (1:53.66)<br \/>\n<strong>13-14<\/strong>\u2014Short Course: 200 free (1:36.25); Long Course: 100 meter freestyle (51.20) and 100 butterfly (54.45).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have coached Thomas only briefly, but continue to be impressed with the work he is able to accomplish daily,\u201d says Coach Gary Taylor. \u201cHe performs at a high level both mentally and physically, which is truly outstanding at only 14 years of age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving coached collegiately for more than 10 years, I believe it would be rare to find a 14-year-old who shows mental and physical capabilities similar to college swimmers. His prior coach, Mike Wenert, did a fantastic job setting him up for sustained success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the pool, Heilman still enjoys the other sports he recently stepped away from to focus on swimming. These include pick-up basketball games with friends, football with his brother and softball with his sister. He also enjoys helping coach his sister\u2019s softball team and umpiring at local Little League baseball games.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2d8ac4;\"><strong>WHAT IS THE BEST THING YOU DO IN SWIMMING?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOne aspect of my swimming I take pride in is my work ethic. I treat every workout as a chance to improve, and I give 100% effort and focus on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2d8ac4;\"><strong>WHAT ARE SOME OF THE TOUGHEST WORKOUTS\/SETS YOU\u2019VE DONE?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n1. 20 x 100 @1:40 &#8211; Best Average Free (LC)<br \/>\n2. 3x the following in one set:<br \/>\n\u2022 400 @ 4:45 &#8211; aerobic free<br \/>\n\u2022 6 x 150 @1:50\/1:45\/1:40 by round &#8211; descending by round from aerobic to all-out<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2d8ac4;\"><strong>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT SWIMMING?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nMy favorite thing about swimming is that although everyone comes from different teams, at the end of the day everyone is part of the swimming family\u2014and everyone is working toward the same goal of trying to improve each day.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2d8ac4;\"><strong>WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS YEAR?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI am most looking forward to having more normalcy at meets. Last year, it took some time getting used to not having family in the stands or teammates on deck cheering you on. This year should be more exciting again with everyone back in the arena.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2d8ac4;\"><strong>WHO IS SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO IN SWIMMING&#8230;AND WHY?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe swimmer I look up to the most is my older brother, Matthew. He has been a member of the Cavalier Aquatics senior group for four years now, and he has taken on a big leadership role on the team, leading through his voice and his work ethic, in and outside of the pool. Matt is someone that I not only look up to, but someone the entire team aspires to be like at some point in their swimming career.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2d8ac4;\"><strong>WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE HOBBIES?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nWhen not in the pool, I enjoy playing basketball, playing chess and watching sports.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-december-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><br \/>\nClick here to download the December 2021 issue of Swimming World, available now!<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-december-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-december-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"492425\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-december-2021-presents-the-2021-world-swimmers-of-the-year-caeleb-dressel-and-emma-mckeon\/swimming-world-december-2021-world-swimmers-of-the-year-caeleb-dressel-and-emma-mckeon-lead-the-way-double-cover\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Swimming-World-December-2021-World-Swimmers-of-the-Year-Caeleb-Dressel-and-Emma-McKeon-Lead-the-Way-Double-COVER.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1064,720\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Swimming World December 2021 &#8211;

In doing so, the premature upward motion of the elbows pulls the hands upward and compromises propulsion. Most swimmers can gain additional propulsion on the push phase by pushing the hand backward instead of pulling the hand upward.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2d8ac4;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #206087;\">045<\/span> SPECIAL SETS: ZOE DIXON\u2014VERSATILITY IS KEY<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Michael J.
