It appears that Swimming World came out with the first Top 12 World Masters Swimmers.
Seems a little strange that there are only 2 people under the age of 50 on this list. Is there an age requirement here that we don't know about?
Where is the Evil Paul Smith's name on this list? He sets at least one National or World Record almost every year.

It's totally inaccurate to leave out USMS or short course yards in any evaluation of the best Masters Swimmers. It must be both Short Course and Long Course. Any selection that includes swimmers from the USA should have to include short course. USMS Nationals and records are as challenging if not more than world bests for Long Course meters.
Back to the issue though...... doesn't this list looks to be a bit age dependent?
Man.... once Phil sees this string he's going to be irritated at me all over again.
Oh well..
