14-year old Josh Parent of the Bluefish Swim Club has stolen the show through the first 2 days of the New England Senior Long Course Championships in Providence this weekend. In his first 4 events of the meet, Parent has broken 2 New England LSC Record for 13-14 boys.

The first came in the opening 1500 free, where he swam a 15:53.49. That took a whopping 25.50 seconds off the old record set in 2010 by Liam Egan, who in 2018 wrapped up an 8-time All-American career at Stanford. That also jumps him to 13th on the all-time USA Swimming 13-14 list, surpassing current US National Teamer Robert Finke.

The next came in the 400 IM, an event he also won, in 4:31.35. That broke the 2014 record of 3:34.50 set by fellow Bluefish swimmer Max Miranda. That’s the 6th-fastest swim in the event by a 13-14 in USA Swimming history.

Parent ‘s other swims include a 17th-place finish in the 200 free (1:57.23), and finished 3rd in the 200 fly (2:07.51 – after a 2:05.63 in prelims).

Bluefish also broke the LSC (Territory) Records in the girls’ 400 medley relay. The group of Sonia Mlakar (1:04.95), Ella Smith (1:12.53), Summer Smith (1:02.95), and Brynn Wright (56.72) combined for a 4:17.15. That broke the old record of 4:22.23 set by a Seacoast Swimming Association relay in 2014 as the fastest swim done at a New England-sanctioned meet.

Had Josh in my IM group at Eastern Zones Select Camp this year and he definitely threw down. And his Coach at Bluefish is the real deal too. Pleasure to work with and fun to see this!
