David Sims is having an excellent meet. I am not familiar with him but his performance speaks for itself. Along with these two records, he swam a 16:37 in the 1650.

If I'm not mistaken, the leadoff swimmer broke John Smith's M45-49 record of 21.10 in the 50 free, which was also set leading off a relay.
Uh oh, "evil stroke" strikes again.

The blog reading on this one should be interesting.
I think my 50 BR today was cursed:censor:.First I thought I was finally going to get to wear my Jaked at a Nationals.It went on fine,but as I was gently adjusting it,it exploded in the buttocks area.I ran to get my back up LZR and got it on and hurried down for my heat.Then as I was putting on my goggles the strap broke.It was too late to get a back up pair so I swam without goggles.As I stood on the blocks I thought"no big deal,I swam without goggles all through college."As soon as I took my first stroke i realized that in college I swam with my head up and now I swim with my head down and that I really couldn't see the wall.I'm pretty happy to have been under 31 considering that my turn and finish were by the Braille method. The 100 fly was better,1:04.8,a PB:bliss:

Great job Allen!
Charlotte Davis was the Olympic coach for synchro for many years and if you watch her swim that synchro background shows. Incredibly smooth and fluid swimmer!
FEAR!!!
