RE: fastest 50 kick ever

Having found this old thread...some of these times are amazing. The :49 by Phelps for 100yd SDK is crazy fast to say the least. I'm with you on the Popov nomination. Incredibly relaxed and controlled freestyle. (He kicked 50 meters in :27 w/ a board.) But in Australia... Kieren Perkins used to be known as "The King". The 1500 was and still is the Super Bowl of freestyle events for them. SCY 100 *** kick in 1:08.1 200 *** in 2:20 avg. 1:16.1 for 2000 straight *** kick 100 back in 51.4 SCY 19.9 for a 50 kick with fins on (no board) 55.5 for 100 free kick SCY I heard Peter Marshall did a 2000 Back kick in something crazy like 22 minutes LCM 100 *** 1:20.8 I read somewhere that thorpe can go 2:15 for 200 LCM free kick I'm not sure what the fastest 200 free kick i've seen is, but 1:55 sounds pretty insane. I might call BS on that one..... ________________________________ I saw Peter Marshall kick 8x100 on 1:30 going between 51.6-56.4. I do remmeber hearing about some national swimmers being able to go sub 2:00 200 kicks with and with out kick boards. _______________________________ I saw Gary Hall kick 100 meter long course (on a kickboard) Butterfly in 1:03 or maybe 1:05.
