When considering the overall speed of swimmers in the past and present it seems that although times are still dropping for swim events there is a "dropping off"graphically of time improvement..now do you think this could mean that there will be an ultimate saturated speed time that will never get beat?i think that unless we evolve say webbed feet or the like then this is possible....thoughts?

    In my article printed in the American Swim Magazine ( ASCA Coaches) I predicted a 58+ and a 2:08+ by Olympics. Brendan Hansen almost did those times in Trials. He actually has a tiny flaw in his push off, where his hands are not perfectly straight, but bent at a angle. That alone would have got him below 2:09.04
