en.wikipedia.org/.../United_States_records_in_swimming Go down to the SCY records and note that Lochte's 200 Back is 2 seconds faster then Phelp's 200 Fly record.

    I've just always been told that only freestyle was faster than fly. This is true. But short course backstroke isn't backstroke at all. It's 15M of dolphin kicking 5 yards of swimming and a flip turn. IMHO, shouldn't be called backstroke anymore. I never understood while the swimming rules makers gave the same underwater limit for SC and LC swimming.
