If you had to rank americas top 5 male swimmers, who would they be and why?
1. phelps-worlds best in 3 events
2. ian crocker- I belive 50.4 in the 100 fly is the most impressive time ever in any event
3. peirsol-is the best in the 100 and 200 back, and its impressive because usa has alot of depth in the backstroke.
4. hansen- breaststroking machine
5. lochte
top 5 in the world
1. phelps
2. hacket
3. croker
