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!!!! Phu-leeze, I'm 41 and I ain't swimming 2Fly LCM, SCY or even in a backyard pool.
So he can swim what ever he wants. If not at USMS Nationals, then where?
Amen to that. I summoned all of my courage to swim the 100 fly LCM at 55 years younger. I do believe that Doug enters the 200 fly at every Nationals and always gets DQ'd. I sure as heck am not entering that event any time soon. So power to him. I hope he gets through that swim legally!
I'm with you Jazz, that was a SICK swim. His fly beat my free by almost 4 seconds. You notice that he 'only' went 23.39 in 50 Free?
He is a true butterflyer. Seeing his free/fly difference that low made me realize that I am not a true butterflyer.
Kohei who ?
This comes up over and over - I just don't get it. Some kid decides to sign up for Masters for one meet and sets a record and people get all excited. He is in the Ian Crocker age group - when he beats Crocker, he has the age-group record.
Of course these are very subjective opinions - Jeff Erwin at the end of the age-group dropping a 16:39 in the mile; Paul Carter with his 57.23; + Laura Val and Pipes-Nelson are so good that records are always expected from them.
Hoch,
He was actually fairly close to Crocker's best time. Half a second, maybe? I thought it was exciting because he didn't make the Olympics, but he decided to have a great meet this summer anyway.
Ya, maybe you're a true rugby player. Just a thought.

Kohei swims and trains with us at Brophy. He tried to make the Japanese Olympic team and just barely missed it. In a few meets this summer, he would have qualified but did not swim as fast at trials. He has been at Brophy training for the past year or so along with a few other Japanese nationals. One of our masters coaches Takahisa Ide, has been training them.
