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!!!!!
The wording could be a little better, but the intent is for the pull to always be backward and the recovery forward out of the water ("...recover over the water"). I believe Mr. Strong does part of his recovery underwater and that's illegal. It's not so much that he isn't getting his entire arm out of the water.
That's my take, anyway. In any case, DQ or not, I've got nothing but respect for him for swimming the 200 fly.
