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.

Let's add Fred Bousquet's 18.74 50 SCY swim last year at the NCAA championships. Not exactly on the same world stage as an Olympic or World Championship, but Bousquet's time schocked the world as the first under 19 and smashed the previous record (19.05) by over three tenths - in a 50 yd. race.
Not sure why USA Swimming still doesn't show it as a US Open record.
Hoffam:
You must mean American Record because they show it as a US Open and a NCAA Record in the Meet Records section of the USA Swimming website. And you know why he can hold an American Record.
