  The 13-14 age group practically rewrote the NAG record books this year, and then most of them aged up after long course. This made deciding the 13-14 and 15-16 age group swimmers of the year challenging, but swimmer age at Olympic Trials was the ultimate deciding factor in who went where. It marks a crazy year when NAG record breakers don’t automatically land the top-ag

  2024 Breakout Male Swimmer Of The Year: Ilya Kharun, Canada
  In Olympic years, there’s usually a swimmer who comes out of nowhere to upset established favorites. This year however, it felt like the individual winners on both the men’s and women’s side were relatively predictable, with all of them being at least a top two or three. Because of this, it was difficult to find a man who really exploded onto the internat

  Deciding the swimmer of the year was not particularly clear cut for the 15-16 swimmers because of top swimmers jumping age categories. There have, however, been a few NAG records this season, even if some of the athletes have been 15 for less than a season. This year’s 15-16 Age Group Swimmer of the Year Awards go to Rylee Erisman and Luka Mijatovic. Both swimmers could have also been the 13-14 Swimmer of the Year.
