His swimming ability has been shown to the full extent, having taken out the Senior Boys Age champion at the St Patrick's School Carnival, the MIA Deanery carnival in Narrandera and the Wagga Wagga Diocesan Swimming Carnival.

Not deterred by the biggest stage, Serafin qualified for six events at the MacKillop Swimming Carnival at Homebush and came home with a couple of medals.

Serafin took out second-place finishes in the 12 Year Boys 100m freestyle and 12 Years Boys 50m freestyle while he stood on the top step in the Senior Boys Individual Medley.

The young swimmer also headed to the PSSA Swimming Carnival in Sydney last week.

The success in the water doesn't come without hard work, as he trained up to eight times a week and is currently racing most weekends.

It isn't just in the pool where Serafin has been excelling.
