At Tennessee, he will be reunited with his former Nadadores coach, Tyler Fenwick, now an associate coach for the Vols. Heron captured the 5k U.S. open water national title in April, swam at the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials and also claimed the 10K at the U.S. Junior Pan Pacific Championships in August.
Here’s what Heron said about his commitment:

Three of Orange County’s hottest swimmers could collide in the boys 500-yard freestyle this week during the South Coast League prelims and finals. But after a grueling weekend, how much speed will the trio have left?
Aliso Niguel’s Janardan Burns, Mission Viejo’s David Heron and Capistrano Valley’s Nick Norman have entered the 500-yard freestyle – their best high school event. The South Coast’s boys prelims are Wednesday at Capistrano Valley.
The three teammates from the Mission Viejo Nadadores are coming off strong performances over the weekend at the U.S. open water championships in Florida. Heron captured the 5K and finished third in the 10K. Burns placed second in the 10K and took fourth in the 5K. Norman, 15, was the top-finisher in 14-16 age-group in the 5K.
Capistrano Valley’s Logan Redondo, the county-leader in the 500 free with a time of 4 minutes, 29.13 seconds, picked two different events for the league meet: 200 individual medley and 100 butterfly. Capistrano Valley’s Zach Ridout looms as another contender to watch in the 500 free.
Here are the boys and girls entries for the South Coast League prelims:
Rising junior David Heron of the Mission Viejo Nadadores and Mission Viejo High captured the open water 5K the national championships Sunday in Florida. It was Heron’s first national crown and came against a field that included 2012 U.S. Olympic qualifier Alex Meyer.
“David Heron swam a brilliant race!,” Nadadores coach Tyler Fenwick wrote in an e-mail from Florida on Sunday. “He sat in the lead pack the entire race and pulled away after the last turn to take the lead charging hard to win the gold.”
Heron is pictured second from the left with Coach Tyler Fenwick (far left).
Heron qualified for the Junior World Championship in Canada in August.
The Nadadores’ Janardan Burns – a junior at Aliso Niguel – placed fourth. The Nadadores’ Nick Norman — a freshman at Capistrano Valley- was the top finisher in the 14-16 age-group and also qualified for the Junior World Championships. They are pictured third and fourth from the left, respectively.
The Mission Viejo Nadadores delivered an impressive showing at the open water national championships Friday in Florida.
Ashley Twichell of the Mission Viejo Nadadores, pictured left, captured the women’s 10K open water national championship to keep her hopes of qualifying for this summer’s Olympics alive.
Twichell finished in 2 hours, three minutes and 6.03 seconds to advance to the Olympic Qualifier Event in Portugal on June 9.
The Nadadores’ Janardan Burns (Aliso Niguel) and David Heron (Mission Viejo) — both high school juniors — finished second and third, respectively, behind male winner Andrew Gemmell.
Burns and Heron both made the U.S. national team with their finishes.
