What's your opinion on best swim of all time ?
It probably won’t be a swim prior to the 70's.
I use to think that the best swim of all time would be a medley however I'm starting to change my tune on this.
For me now I think the truly finest swim would be a freestyle event...i.e Freestyle is more important than the strokes because it's unique.

Although I am not personally very interested in distance events, Janet Evans 400 free LCM world record swim of 4:03.84 in 1988 (Seoul Olympics) is a damned impressive swim. She negative split the race - 2:02.14 and 2:01.71. The record still stands.
