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.

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
Thanks Kim.
That the stuff I like to hear.
It reminds me of Kerin Perkin's win in the 1500m at Atlanta.Many had written him off before and during the meet.He had been sick and wasn't swimming well.He qualified for the final in Lane 8 which means he definately wasn't going good.You shouldn't just scrape in when your're the Olympic champion.In the final he just went out at a pace he hadn't produced for some time and remarkably held it together.Most people expected him to die but you could soon tell he was a changed swimmer fiom the heats to the final.How he got it back together that quick is a miracle.
