ULTRA SWIM SWIMMER OF THE MONTH: LIAM CUSTER

Sharks Webmaster

From SwimSwam's JARED ANDERSON

Even with the coronavirus pandemic restricting training and competition, it was a banner month of July for 16-year-old Sarasota Sharks swimmer Liam Custer.

Custer crushed lifetime-bests in 12 different races at the SYS Summer Social Distance this month. You read that right: a full dozen. The Summer Social Distance meet ran yards events in morning heats, followed by meters events in the evening finals, so Custer ultimately swam six different events, each one in both short course yards and long course meters. Every single swim was a new personal-best, though times swum in July won’t technically count for national-level qualifying under USA Swimming’s current pandemic rules.
