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.

I can't see too much I'd disagree with here.
For me I think back and remember the swims that made me think "I don't believe that".
Janet Evan's 400 Free and then the 800 Free.....as posted
.....and she had an interesting style....
Grant Hackett's 1500 Free after Perkins previous mark....as posted.....
Ian Thorpe’s 400 Free. Which I think will surprise us and out last them all.
And my one that I suggest is above a few on the list is Ian Crocker's 50.4 for 100 Fly......Give him a tumble turn and he'd go 49+......that's Fly not Free and it beats Phelps ????
I agree we've yet to see Phelp's best in IM's...
For longevity of performance I agree on Dawn Fraser...she could have won 4 golds...if not for one bureaucrat’s personal agenda...
Matt Biondi gets my vote on best meet performance just ahead of Mark Spitz.
