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.

George Breen set worlds record heat 1500 m 1956 Olympics. Lost in slower time. Bill Yorzyk wins 200 m Butterfly at 1956 Olympics. Two of the best swims I have witnessed. Of course this was before anyone knew how to swim. Almost forgot Dawn Fraser she was great but was always in trouble for her antics.
