From the man whose WR has been broken four times in the last two months.....
I like his attitude. He could never be a USMS swimmer. Too much whining here about everything.

I'm guessing these are number of world records per year. If so, notice the spikes in the Olympic years (with the exception of '96).
According to the graph on p. 195 of "Breakthrough Swimming":
year #
1976: 58
1977: 10
1978: 31
1979: 11
1980: 24
1981: 10
1982: 14
1983: 18
1984: 24
1985: 9
1986: 13
1987: 10
1988: 22
1989: 8
1990: 4
1991: 14
1992: 15
1993: 1
1994: 13
1995: 3
1996: 5
1997: 3
1998: 2
1999: 24
2000: 33
Some of these might be +/- 1, as I eyeballed the graph to get the numbers
