SwimCloud. He holds seven team records in ve events across three categories, and Rothman helped an older age group break two relay team records.

Rothman plans to be involved in track and eld this season. He’s been involved before. His youth team is starting up a triathlon team.

“He also competes in Ninja competitions,” his mom said. “When he was little, he played soccer and T-ball. But nothing quite stuck like swimming. For fun as a family, we camp a ton and stand-up paddleboard. Boyd learned to paddle his own craft several years ago.”

“Nope. Next question,” Boyd Rothman said.

Rothman’s favorite race is a tie between the 100-yard butter y and the 200- butter y.

“I’ve never done the 200- y, but I did it once on my own, and I can’t wait to race it in a meet,” Rothman said. “ e 500 (500-yard freestyle) is my third favorite.”

“He’s a strong back stroker but doesn’t agree,” his mom said. “I think butter y makes him feel strong and powerful, which is good. AS a little man, he is often so much smaller than the big kids he swims against. Butter y ves him that feeling of being strong and capable.”

Young Rothman’s goals are pretty simple.

“I want to break world records,” he said. “I just love to swim. I wish I could swim all the time.”
