Indiana senior and O'Connor High School alumnus Mikey Calvillo competed at the TYR Pro Swim Series in San Antonio and finished second overall in the 800 meter Freestyle on the first day of competition.
Indiana senior Mikey Calvillo touches second in the 800 meter Freestyle at Northside Swim Center on Wednesday, March 30, 2022.For years, San Antonio native Mikey Calvillo trained and competed at the Northside Swim Center as a member of both the O’Connor High School swim team and the Alamo Area Aquatic Association club team. On Wednesday afternoon, Calvillo returned to the Alamo City as a senior at Indiana University, ready to take part in the TYR Pro Swim Series.
Calvillo was one of 27 swimmers who competed on Wednesday afternoon in the meet’s first event, the 800 meter Freestyle. He held 30-second 50s for the majority of the distance and negative split his race to finish second overall in 8:07.64. His time was 1.72 seconds faster than his seed.“I was pretty excited, especially since it was in my home pool. I was in a pretty good mood, so I think that carried me through the rest of the race.
But Calvillo isn’t the only San Antonio native swimming alongside the titans of the sport. Twelve athletes from the AAAA swim club are also on hand, and Calvillo says the experience they gain will prove invaluable.“I was in the same position as they are when I was a junior in high school,” Calvillo explained. “My coach signed me up for these Pro Swim Series, and I was really hesitant at first, but he told me that these will be great learning experiences. He was right.
