The TV station reported that by completing the swim, the fourth-grade student from Los Banios broke a record previously held by a 10-year-old boy.

一个9岁的加州中部男孩冒着激流和刺骨的冷水从三藩市游到阿尔卡特兹岛再游回来。加州一家电视台周二报道称，吉姆·萨维奇创下了前往这座前监狱的年龄最小的游泳运动员的纪录。据电视台报道，这位来自Los Banios的四年级学生游泳结束后，其成绩打破了此前由一名10岁男孩保持的记录。吉姆说，他在圣弗朗西斯科湾游泳时，海浪拍击在他的脸上达30分钟左右，这使得他很想放弃。他的父亲说他给了儿子100美元作为奖励。为了鼓励他苦苦挣扎的儿子，他把奖励给到200美元。詹姆斯向前方游去，到达阿尔克曲克岛，两个多小时后他返回起始点。阿尔克曲克岛屿距离陆地超过一英里。

请根据刚才所听的新闻报道回答1-2题。

问题1：据报道，这个来自加州中部的男孩做了什么？

问题2：父亲做了什么来鼓励他的儿子？
