June 16, 2000. Russian swimmer Alexander Popov sets the world record for the men's 50m LC freestyle with a mark of 21.64s. As of 2007 Popov still holds the record.
The mark was achieved not in a regular race but in a time trial.

A great swim, but it should not be a world record becasue it wasn't done in a real compitition.
Warren..please answer these simple questions:
1) How many time trails have you swam in?
2) How many of these were set up solely for you to attempt to break a record...any record?
3) how many age group, USS, Masters or world records have you held?
Sorry to sound harsh...but unless you've stepped up there with several dozen people and watches set on you and can tell me its "easier" than doing it in head to head racing than I'm afraid your comment doesn't hold water...so to speak.
We each have strengths and weaknesses....time trails amy be easier for some but not always...
