A 10‑year‑old swimmer named Clark Kent has broken a swimming record that Olympic legend Michael Phelps set 23 years ago.

Kent who also goes by “Superman,” finished the 100m butterfly at the Far Western Long Course Championships in California with a time of 1:09.38, over a second faster than Phelps’ 1:10.48.

He ended up winning gold medals in every event he competed in at the meet, much like Phelps did at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The rising fifth grader has been swimming competitively for four years and targeted the event because of the chance to break Phelps’ record.

Clark already has his eyes on the not‑too‑far‑off Summer Olympics.

After all, Phelps was just 15‑years‑old during his first Olympics in 2000.
