Awesome swim. Video was way choppy for some reason...too bad. Played fine for me. Try another computer? Or pause the video and make sure the whole thing is preloaded before you play it.

We have video of Rowdy's world record and others at swimmingworld.tv: tv.swimmingworldmagazine.com/.../2011-rowdy-gaines-masters-classic Here's Rowdy's swim Thanks for the link Jeff. Rowdy must have a serious practice schedule to do so well. That's was beyond impressive. Pretty nice 100 back by the way. You swim it like you mean it. :)

26.55 55.58 1:25.27 1:54.61 www.dixiezone.org/.../1110orlando.pdf He definitely went for it. 55-mid at the hundred? Wow! Yet very evenly split for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th 50s.

:bow: 1:54.5 (200m), slaughtered the old world record!:bow::bow: Is this LCM? If so, that's crazy fast! Edited: What I really meant was "Is this metres!". Short or long, still amazing.

Never mind. Nothing to see here (Chris found the results before I did!). Check out Keith Switzer's swims, too. Very impressive.

Very impressive swim. I saw Rowdy swim this event in 1989 Pan Pacific Championships in Indianapolis and he went a 1:50.91, so in 22 years he has only slowed down 3.5 seconds and that is what I am impressed more with. Any swimmer that has been swimming over 20 years and can come within 3.5 seconds of what they did in a 200 race back 22 years would be just overjoyed. I have a video of that race and I remember he just hammered every turn. Dan Stephenson was right next to him and swam a 1:53.66 but was getting hammered on all 7 turns.
