See all of our 2024 Swammy Awards here 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-age group swimmer spot, but only one swimmer can be first. This year’s 13-14 Swammy winners are Audrey Derivaux and Shareef Elaydi. 13-14 Girls Audrey Derivaux, Jersey Wahoos. Audrey Derivaux is 15 now, but she swam through July as a 14-year-old and she broke two NAG records during 2024 in the 200 fly and the 200 IM. In February of this year, she set her 1st record of the season in the 200 butterfly with a time of 1:54.33 to take almost a second off the previous record time of 1:55.29 set by Tess Howley in 2019. In March, she set her 2nd record in the 200 IM. Her 1:55.73 took down Alex Walsh’s former record of 1:56.20 from 2015. She had a successful long course season as well, grabbing the #2 spot all-time in the 100 and 200 fly events, and finishing in the top 10 in quite a few others. She also topped the 13-14 rankings in 10 events across long course and last short course season, more than any other swimmer.

Grace Koenig-Song, : Koenig Song appears on the USA Swimming NAG record list with her long course 50 breast time of 31.80. Unfortunately, there is no way to see other 13-14 50 breaststrokers beyond this season because it is not a category in any other USA swimming database for the 13-14 age group. Koenig Song had the top 200 breast time in the country last short course at 2:10.92, which is good for 4th all-time. She also had the fastest long course 100 breaststroke at 1:09.80 for 7th all-time.

She also appears in the all-time top-10 in all of these events, coming in 9th in the 50 free, 6th in the 100 free, 4th in the 100 fly, and 3rd in the 200 IM. Brito was the youngest swimmer at the Olympic Trials in June, swimming as a 13-year-old. 13-14 Boys Shareef Elaydi, Santa Clara Aquatic Club Shareef Elaydi is 15 now, but he was the youngest male swimmer at Olympic Trials, competing as a 14-year-old.

His six short course top-times were more than any other swimmer in the age group. He also swam at the 2024 Olympic Trials, placing 43rd in the 200 fly. His best time of 2:00.38 from March is 2nd all-time behind Michael Phelps.

He swam the 200 breaststroke at the NCSA championships in July to break Ethan Dang’s former record of 2:15.84 from 2016. He currently sits in 1st for the season in the 13-14 100 breast, 200 breast, and 400 IM from before he turned 15.
