Just heard that at long course nationals in Oregon this summer Dennis Baker plans to swim the 1500 butterfly instead of freestyle!!! The tank is supposed to be one of the fastest in the country with the new remodel.
In late 70's Arden Hills phenom Brett Favaro swam the 1500 at US Nationals and took 7th...
I knew Rex at UCLA (he swam, I didn't). He told me they used to occasionally swim 1500 fly in practice (I'm pretty sure this was pre-UCLA). He didn't tell me he'd ever done it in competition!
