I will start with breastroke- Gary Marshall(25-29) 1:02 high in the hundred 2:16 in the 200, David Guthrie(45-49) 1:07 in the 100 2:27 in the 200 Robert
Strand(60-64) 33.41 50 *** 1:15 100 ***. Between them 6 world records Marshall 1, Guthrie 2 and Strand 3. There are plenty more so add to the thread!!!!!
for well over 10 MINUTES. At age EIGHTY THREE!!!!
Ten minutes was his entered time but he swam for much longer than that, at least twenty. I couldn't imagine swimming 20 minutes of straight fly in a LCM pool at my present age, forget about 40 years from now.
I was in the locker room later when he was changing and upset about being DQ'd (underwater recovery). I bet he's used the same stroke in meets before now...was he DQ'd in those? I've definitely seen little tykes with the same kind of stroke in summer league swimming, without them getting the boot.
