- See Less - Garrett started swimming as a summer leaguer at age 7. He swam 2 years of high school and decided to take the sport a little more seriously after going to his HS State Championship on a relay as a junior. His senior year, he was a runner up at the Washington State Championships in the 50 Free.
After 5 years of collegiate swimming, he hung up the goggles as a national qualifier in both backstrokes and graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism from The University of Missouri.
A few months after he graduated he started floswimming.org.

yeah Spin Beck did go 29.7 in LONG COURSE!!!! i was there and saw it. it was freakin awesome
An imperfect calculation but still: if you work out her average speed for the 49.97 meters, she would have covered the extra 3 cm in ~.02sec putting her at 29.79.
Obviously you cannot use this to validate a world record but it shows you how fast she was going...IF, indeed, she really posted that time.
still she obliterated it. it doesn't make sense because she took her 100 out in 33.5 the night before. the pool is only 3cm short it wouldn't make her that much slower.
