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.

Which of Biondi's meets are you comparing to Spitz' 72 Olympics? I'm not looking for an argument
Matt Biondi's performance of five golds and four world records at the 1988 Seoul Olympics .He was touched out in the 100fly which makes the performance debatable ....against Spitz effort in 72. Duncan Armstrong in the 200m free was a freak swim.
I'm one of those ones who think the late 80’s were just a different world to the early 70's in competition.
Pound for pound I think Spitz is a better swimmer.
Argue away....it's all very debatable stuff.....
I'm not as familiar with Phelps’s overall meet performances?
Anyone know his best so far???
