copeland just went a 48.39 at WUGS..That whole 4x100 relay was solid..I would not be surprised if the other 3 guys all broke 49 flat start.I think WCT is going to have some crazy fast times..not sure if 48 is going to be the "new"49 but I think their will be a lot of swimmers hitting faster times then trials last year

Well, the 1:00 barrier is officially meaningless in breaststroke. Who is Caba Siladi?

I think that Staab is going to be serious competition versus people in that 100 fly.

Lake? Thats luxury! We train in a shoebox on the side of the road...
Cardboard box? You were lucky. We had to swim in a paper bag in a septic tank. |

Wow a Pro swim league. This would change swimming entirely as it would make it possible for the next generation of swimmers to do this a life choice. Its a scary and crazy though

We are forgetting something here. In every single sport with a strong pro league, the Olympics are secondary. Every soccer player would rather win a World Cup, or even an Euro Champions League, than an Olympic gold. The same goes on in basketball, and several other sports (I can only think of volleyball as an exception). Also, I can't help but think about boxing, where nobody even cares much about the Olympics. I think it is great that so many people feel the suits and other potentially marketable aspects of the "new swimming world" should not simply be banned, but I think starting a pro league could diminish the value of swimming in the Olympic games... It is still an idea that warrants discussion, though.

Faber doesn't break his hand and that second fight goes completely different.

This idea is awesome but a lot of work needs to go into it in order for it to be done right. Maybe a rule such as the NBA would need to be added so it doesn't change college swimming. We also may be getting ahead of ourselves a little bit, but it is fun to think about.

i would imagine nothing really. except that college swimmers could have a somewhat professional career after college to look forward to which would be sweet

My club program is better than your club program because our swimmers don't go on family trips so they won't miss practice. Break up with your boyfriend, he is ruining your season. No summer jobs, you can't miss a double. School trip? I don't care, you are 13 now and need to understand that there is no meaningful life to be found outside of the swim team.

Oh and Chuck Norris was on our team, around his peak, but he quit because the work was to tough for him.

HEY!!!! NO-ONE is better than THSC! And I find it funny how your guys can only becnh 400 pounds, at our team we can't afford a bench so each of our swimmers bench their 2000 pound carswhile doing an inverted egg-beater in the water, keeping the cars DRY! We vertical kick in the air because our legs are so strong we have flying abilties.

Problem with Japan is that the 51.28 and 48.73 were swum by the same person (Takuro Fujii). They need to put Masayuki Kishida (51.8) on fly and Fujii on free, but they probably will do Fujii on fly and some 49-plus guy on free.

psshhh. Yeah right, my club team would PWN yours in a duel meet. I bet I could lap you in a 50 long course. Swimmers on our team can simultaneously fight Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, and Urijah Faber, all while squatting 400 lbs, and swimming a set of 100 x 400 IMs.

hey im the guy who wrote the long post earlier about the relay (#225). have at my post all you want but the more recent posts comparing the "heart" of jason lezak to michael phelps is silly. you can't compare them as swimmers in the first place, much less their "heart" as swimmers. totally different types of swimmers

SpannFan: Looked to me like Klein was sporting a full face of hair at Santa Clara...from what I remember Klein's best time before SEC's or NCAA's was just under 2 minutes, I think everyone remembers what he looked like at those meets. Only time will tell, Good luck to both athletes.

Why the hell are you taking to US swimmers and making it a competition between the two? They're on the same team. Without Lezak's insane split Phelps doesnt win 8, but he still had to win the other 5 individual events he did, plus contriute to 2 other relays.
