I've seen that most conferences do get faster year in and year out; I think that we are over the tech-suit assisted swims for the most part in NCAA swimming and are seeing who can really bring it in the water.
I think that the main difference between the bigger and smaller D1 conferences is not necessarily the speed. You will always have a few standout swimmers in the smaller conferences making NCAA cuts. It is the depth on the teams, from team to team, from top to bottom that sets the bigger schools apart.
