                                  ____________

Before SHEPHERD, KELLY, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Konrad Swimmer pleaded guilty to one count of failure to pay legal child
support obligations in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 228(a)(3). On April 6, 2012, he was
sentenced to five years of unsupervised probation and ordered to pay restitution.
Swimmer repeatedly failed to pay restitution and failed to remain current with his
child support payments. As a result, his unsupervised probation was reviewed and
reinstated twice; on the third occasion it was revoked and replaced with a five-year
term of supervised probation. Swimmer’s supervised probation was revoked and
reinstated shortly thereafter for failure to maintain contact with his probation officer
and he was ordered to reside at a halfway house for two months. In June 2017, the
probation office filed its fifth petition to revoke Swimmer’s probation, and Swimmer
admitted to the violation of failing to timely notify his probation officer of his change
in residence. The advisory Guidelines range for this violation was 7 to 13 months’
imprisonment. The district court1 revoked Swimmer’s probation and sentenced him
to 21 months’ imprisonment, followed by one year of supervised release. Swimmer
appeals, arguing the sentence was substantively unreasonable.

       We review the substantive reasonableness of the district court’s revocation
sentence under a deferential abuse-of-discretion standard, United States v. McGhee,

, 706 (8th Cir. 2017) (per curiam), applying “the same ‘reasonableness’
standard that applies to initial sentencing proceedings,” United States v. Merrival, 

, 890 (8th Cir. 2008). Although Swimmer’s sentence exceeds the Guidelines
range for the probation violation, it is within the range for his original offense (15 to
21 months). We conclude that the district court considered all of the 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) factors and the sentence is substantively reasonable. At the revocation
hearing, the district court noted that Swimmer was given “several chances” to adhere
to the terms of his probation but had repeatedly failed to do so. Given Swimmer’s
recidivism and history with probation, it was not an abuse of discretion to conclude
that a 21-month period of incarceration was sufficient but not greater than necessary
to achieve the goals of sentencing.

      The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
