Ridiculous:
Katie Ledecky swims the first-sub 9:00 1000: (8:59.65)

From the SwimSwam story,
"she was out in 4:30.90 to the 500 and actually negative split the race, coming home in 4:28.75 over the final 500 yards. As individual 500s, those would rank as the 8th and 5th fastest 500 yard freestyles in history."
The 5th fastest 500 in history as the back half of a 1000, and she owns the other 4.
Her last 50 in that race was 25.52. That time would qualify for Nationals for MEN 40-45. Think about that for a moment......
