What Will Be the Longest Standing World Record of Suit Age?

Going to ignore one of the posters ... The 50 Free will be untouchable and stand the longest. 400 IM - that will go down within the next ten years. That seems normal progress - just as the 400 Free. Thorpe went 3:40 - I can see somebody get this in a few years. The 2:06 for women is interesting - based on the Men's times, women should be able to go 2:06 - the difference in 200s is usually 11-12 seconds - but I can't see it happen - same for the 2:01 Fly. But I can see people getting close. The 50 Free though, I am not sure people will be within 1/2 a second at the next Olympics.
