It will be interesting to see how Michael Phelps swims. Will he final in the 50 Free? Will he break the great record of Tom Dolan in the 400 IM and go below 3:38.00? Will he break the record in the 200 IM by Ryan Lochte at 1:41.76 and go under 1:41.00? How will he do in the 200 Fly? Can he improve the 1:41.72 record that he has? Ryan Lochte did an impressive 1:42.03 at the SEC Championships. Also I see he is entered in the 200 Back in a rematch with Aaron Piersol. This is the first time he swam this in a big meet since the 2004 Long Beach Olympic Trials when he lost to Aaron Piersol.
He is back now. Michael Phelps just broke the 11 year record of Tom Dolan by almost 2 seconds. Wow, what a great swim. Now I believe he will go under 1:41.00 in the 200 IM based on this performance.
His splits for the 3:36.26 are as follows: :50.55 Fly, :53.0 Back,1:03.18 ***, and :49.50 Free. What an insane swim.
