For all of you who know Leslie the Fortress Livingston, this should help you know her better.
For all of you who don't know Leslie the Fortress Livingston, prepare for the thrill ride get-to-know-Leslie event of the year.
A little background: Leslie is the 4th woman in history in the 45-49 year age group to beat 30 seconds in the 50 SCM butterfly.
She did this at age 47, and it is possible that she is actually the FIRST woman in history this old to break 30 at the age (assuming the previous 3 were 45 or 46.)

This small film will help you understand all that goes into becoming an extraordinary human being/swimmer. Oh, and there's a little about Leslie in this, too.
Just joking. It's all about Leslie. With some guest appearances by Paul Wolf, Julie "Mulie" Oplinger, Jeff "the Barbarian" Roddin, and Jim Thornton as "the narrator."
Please enjoy before Leslie forces Jim Matysek to take this down.

Frank: I just read the article which Swimming World published.
It seems to conflict with the way Leslie's time was denied from the rankings.
There is the possibility that this USAS meet had sanctioned time trials.
I swam in the GA Sr State Champs last week (USAS), and the meet information packet expressly stated there would be time trials and that they were sanctioned.
You'd have to check the entry packet for the meet that Karlyn swam in.
