Before 2009 Kukors best 200 IM was 2:10.40 World class for sure, but still a cut behind the top women in the event. Today she goes a 2:06.15 and in two days shaves more than a second off the world record. I nominate this swim, just ahead of Bousquets 20.94, as the most ridiculous suited up swim of all time.

My first year swimming high school, my 500 Free time improved by 30 seconds in less than 2 months. Combination of harder swim workouts and more dryland training. Maybe Kukors benefitted from being around the Olympians and Nationals veterans, people to measure against and to get advice on being efficient with time outside the pool.
This is just silly. Comparing a first year swimmer with a 30 second drop to a world class athlete and a 4 second drop.
BTW went to another site and it was mentioned that she switched from TYR to Jaked between Nats and Worlds.
