Usa swimming and ncaa Videos

+Cher Gagen Wiltsie I mean 200.

+Justin Wu Could you try to upload Ryan Murphy's 2000 back?

+Justin WuCan you upload the butterfly races?

Yes I will try to post record breaking swims of the mens but the first day was not broadcasted on ESPN so unfortunately I don't have a video of David Nolan's sub 1:40 2IM..

Cause yards are our unit of measurement

+Tyler Yates It would certainly be an interesting race. Althought i'd put him behind Van der Burgh at the moment. Shame the event isnt at the olympics.

+comicjmerrywell Except Cordes can give Peaty a run for his money in the 50 breast LCM. He's still got work to do, but he's pretty fast in the shortest one. (Cordes went a 26, barely behind Peaty's WR)

+TheFawly84 It's traditional for NCAA. That said, LC is what's really important, even here in the States. Cordes is the fastest American in yards, but Hansen is still probably our best breaststroker ever (at least of the modern era). Also, not being able to go toe-to-toe with Peaty in the breast is no black mark on the old resume. Peaty's put himself in the conversation with guys like Hansen and Kitajima.

+Tyler Yates Yeah totally agree about Cordes smashing Peaty in yards. Peaty can't turn/start for shit haha!

+TheFawly84 You're kind of right about the long course comparison. It's kind of like comparing apples to oranges though. Personally, I think yards is way more exciting. I also think if you put Peaty against Cordes in a yards race, Peaty would get dusted because Cordes is the master of quick turns and smooth underwaters - Peaty just has more lasting power.

+TheFawly84 this is collegiate, its juts how it has been done. club season used to be yards fall/winter and long course meters spring/summer. pro series i believe is only long course. and its a different kind of race, 3 turns instead of one. some people are better at short course, but he can go low 59 long course. and to be fair, there are plenty of non americans who go to college in the us and swim in this meet. and also, we have not really adapted the full metric system over here so that might have something to do with it. and one day he might reach the standard you are talking about, you never know. i hope this helps, if not my bad

+Ian Lindsey I think that was the summer after high school. I just remember watching a short documentary about him coming into Arizona.

+Tyler Yates he was 53.6 out of high school before he started at Arizona. He did it at NCSA the year he graduated.

+MiggyBomb I want everyone here to think about this: as a senior in high school, Kevin Cordes' best time was a 56. I know that's an outstanding time, but it isn't exactly "rare" in the high school elites. He's gone on to be the only person to break 50 on the medley relay and has the American Record. Consider this a motivational comment, but it's completely true and factual! You logically can do anything.

+MiggyBomb just remember that short course swimmers dont always make the best long course swimmers.. but it could happen

+MiggyBomb Not really... Kevin had 50.04, and he still didn't make the Olympics. Your schoolmate might be good, but he isn't an Olympian (yet ;P)

+Yunfan Gong Practice :)

+TRUx Voodoo Only been legal since 2004 (maybe it came into effect in 2005?) Kitajima cheated with a dolphin kick at Athens, but only got caught on camera, not by the officials. FINA decided it would be easier to allow the kick than to figure out how to enforce the rule.

It is legal. The hands no longer need to be seperate before the swimmer initiates the single dolphin kick during the breaststroke pull out

It certainly does. It feels like it flows really well with the pull down and it's just normal. Probably one of the reasons why it's allowed now.

That's awesome! I swam in high school without knowing this (I don't think anyone on my team did it). I tried it out today and it feels great.

Yes, it's completely legal. One dolphin kick is allowed before the pulldown in breastroke. You can either dolphin kick before the pulldown or during the pulldown.

+InfinityPineapples bro this race is the NCAA its basically the olympics in yards. Don't worry people start of slow but you can get fast if you have the heart to do it. :)

+Sarthak DhingraOh yeah, you're right^^

Yards

►JFAC◄

Yeah that is true

+Swim Nation A long course pool uses meters instead of yards. Since one yard is approximate to 0.9 meters, Chase Kaliz only swam 360 meters. Still though, 3:34.50 for a 400Y I.M. is better than most of us will ever do.

+David Son not sure what you mean by that

he does. very well. winter season, and college season, is swum short course

+Ryan lex Really? He said his turns could have been better, which is true, if you're not considering the circumstances. How does that show he thinks he's better?

So your saying he "slow" while you can't even beat his record just show how you think your better then him. Hahahahahaha totally crack me up!

+Jonathan Chen agreed

+Swim Nation true true... the 400 im is gruelling... but it was a great swim by chase kalisz 

His turns seemed fine to me. Maybe they seemed "slow" but that's because it's a 400 IM instead of a 200. There's really not much more you can do when you're 1.5 seconds under the American Record...

Swimmers today are forgetting how to swim smart.

It does not matter how fast you may have went out in the race, but it does matter how strong you finish the race.

+Basem Magd very very difficult to do... If you heard Rowdy Gaines, he was 2.5 seconds over the old AR pace before the breast and ended up 1 second under it after the breast. Ridiculous.

Yes. Now that I begin to think about it, Kalisz's breastroke split would be most impressive because having to go under a minute for the 100yd breastroke prior to swimming two strokes beforehand is, in fact, very difficult to do.

Yes, Kalisz is quite amazing to say the least. He went under the old AR by 1.5 seconds.. All his splits were ridiculous but I'd say his breast split was most impressive.

Love you missy franklin
