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?

Howard, my best 25 breaststroke from a dive is 12.3 seconds, and I have a great turn. But you really have to be in shape to swim that last 25, and I have not been in shape for years.
Not working out at all I do about 32 high, can get to 30 with about two months work out. Would need 6 month of workouts to get below 30 again. For every second drop the work needed increases greatly.
