That 100 yard one is not nearly as impressive as I thought it would be. I was expecting 100 yards of kicking/swimming underwater no breath. He takes a breath at each wall when he flips. While impressive speed wise, that 100 basically amounted to 4x25 with a flip turn at 3 ends fast SDK on his back. And before anyone might say "well if it is so easy let's see you do it", I will add that my personal best is 85 meters underwater pullouts, so I know how tough underwater breath control can be. Sorry no video, it was from back in my college days.
Calvin, consider that both of the featured videos of Hill were done in season with no rest.The 100 in particular was in mid Nov.,at the height of training, at the end of practice on a Friday after a hard week of training.Although there is no video, his freshman year he went a 50 LCM with a small monofin in 16sec!
