The recent post on David Hasselhoff got me thinking about one hit wonders in Swimming.
Tracy Wickam for 1978's world records in 400 & 800 Free
......4:06 & 8:24 I think....and didn't it take Janet Evans to break these records ?????? Someone may remember this....
Any other one hit wonders ??? (or brief stays at the top?)

From the UK, the one swimmer that always stands out in my mind in Mark Foster. One time fastest man in the world over 50 metres .. but he never got a single Olympic medal - despite competing at several Olympics.
Other notable examples???
