Finest swim of all time

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.

    Two swims by Ian Crocker -- 100 LCM fly at the 2003 World's in Barcelona. He just out-touched Phelps for the third world record set in that event in 2 days! 100 SCM free at the 2004 NCAA championships. He set a world record from an outside lane (fourth seed, I think). The announcers had barely mentioned his name until the last 25. The camera was never on him!
