The girls 10 and under 50 meter freestyle National Age Group record fell this weekend in Indianapolis. Adele Zyniewicz touched in 28.37 to take down the mark. Swimming at the Indiana SwimFest Long Course Championships, the unattached ten year old knocked .21 off Miriam Sheehan‘s old 28.58.
Sheehan still holds 10 and under National Age Group records in 50 and 100 backstroke and butterfly. Those records were set just last year.
Zyniewicz also obliterated her own Indiana Age Group record in the event. Earlier this summer she had posted a 29.29. This weekend, second place went to Lily Christianson in 31.22.
Zyniewicz also won this weekend’s 200 freestyle, 50 backstroke, 100 butterfly, 100 freestyle, and 50 butterfly. She also took down Indiana Age Group records in the 100 freestyle and the 50 butterfly.
Her 100 freestyle was a 1:02.67, well under the 2007 mark of 1:04.98, and good enough to win the event by nearly eight seconds. That time was also less than a second from Claire Tuggle‘s National Age Group record of 1:01.86.
In the 50 butterfly, Zyniewicz clocked a 31.59, taking down the record of 31.86. That old mark had stood since 1997.

You are a pro!

Proud moment for my daughter to be part of that 50 free! Kaia placed 4th, so I have the medal ceremony on video! Fun to watch all of Adele’s events over the weekend. Great job!
Swimming that fast as a 10&under scares me. What kind of training is she doing to get those times? The world is full of 10 year old champions who go nowhere due to burnout & injury from over training a young body that is still growing.
Sometimes kids are just really fast. It doesn’t take extra training.
Stephanie Miller Mindlin sometimes they are however, I’ve been around the swim world for 40 years and this troubles me.
A former girlfriend and Olympic Silver medalist was doing these times when she was 13 and she was a natural born swimmer. She however is the only one of her peers to make it to the national team. Some became good swimmers and some crashed and burned for various reasons.
Before celebrating this young girls achievements I’d need to see her training schedule. I would hope she’s a natural and that we are seeing the start of an amazing career but I’ve seen too many over zealous parents and coaches that will ruin a child to achieve their own goals rather than the child’s.
Adele swims for great coaches for Michiana Y Stingrays. She is a wonderful young lady who I know personally as my two children are on the team with her. God blessed her with great athletic ability among other gifts including supportive parents. The coaches teach the big 3 (do your best in the pool , do your best in school and do your best in the community) and Adele does those things.
I swam with Olympic swimmers and also swam in college and have been around many zealous parents and coaches who try to live their goals through their kids and this is not the situation at all. Coach Craig Fox and his assistants are wonderful and caring and our team is a family. A-1
My guess is Adele was doing hand stands after the race, enjoying her childhood. I have watched practices, meets and fun days with Adele being a part of them. She has fun swimming and is a great kid.
Nice! Will we see her swim at mega zones in a week or so? Will look for her!
Chris Ehrenreich or Jeff Ehrenreich show this to Hannan!
Great Job Adele !
Simply amazing swimming!!!!
Keep going
