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?

Very few swimmers would ever catch it, but since I did it and then corrected the error, I go 15 yards from a wall push!
It may only be worth 6 inches, but times 4 would equal 2 feet:D
In my observations it is worth a foot or more of distance, the hands only need to be a couple of degrees from straight to cause extra drag, and you will never swim as fast as when you are in the streamline off the start or each turn. So right when you are fastest you are adding drag.:D
