It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1.

  • Two Rising Stars Unearthed on Sizzling Opening Night in Brisbane
    Two rising stars unearthed on sizzling opening night in Brisbane Swimming Australia: April 9, 2017: Swimming has unearthed two new rising stars on the opening night of a sizzling Hancock Prospecting Australian Swimming Championships at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre tonight. The sport’s biggest names Cate and Bronte Campbell, Mack Horton, Cam McEvoy and Mitch Larkin all lived up to expectations and delivered with some of the fastest times in the world. Defending world champion Bronte Campbell powered over the top of sister Cate and Emma McKeon to win the 100m freestyle; Olympic champion Mack Horton finished too strong to take out the 400m; the world’s fastest swimmer Cam McEvoy looked super impressive to win the 50m freestyle and Larkin hung on grimly to win his fourth Australian 200m backstroke title. But the breakthrough performances of Queensland teenagers Ariarne Titmus (St Peters Western) and Shayna Jack (Commercial) will provide two fresh faces on the Dolphins team for this year’s FINA World Championships in Hungary. Titmus, just 16, clocked a 14 second personal best time to win the 800m freestyle and Jack – the latest prodigy out of the Simon Cusack sprint freestyle school, clocked two personal best times in one day to finish fourth in the 100m freestyle with a 53.40 – the sixth fastest time by an Australian Titmus, who moved to Brisbane from Tasmania with her family to further her swimming career two years ago, improved her time of 8:37.50 to clock 8:23.08 (59.83; 2:02.23; 4:08.95) – the fifth fastest time ever by an Australian – swimming past a who’s who of Olympians, Olympic champions and world champions, including Sheridan Burge-Lopez, Michelle Ford, Blair Evans, Tracey Wickham and Janelle Elford.

  • There Are Many Variations in Swimming Technique Not Just Between Swimmers but Your Individual Stroke Will Vary from Sprints to Distance and from Pool to Open Water
    STROKE VARIATION BY PATRICK DEVINE In 2008, I wrote an article with the same title. Following the Olympics is an appropriate time to edit the topic with updated observations. There are many variations in swimming technique not just between swimmers but your individual stroke will vary from sprints to distance and from pool to open water. Freestyle will be the focus. There are 5 Olympic distances. With the form strokes only two distances in each discipline, exist at Olympic competition but variation is pronounced particularly to suit individual body types. There are some wonderful videos on YouTube of some of the very best swimmers. This time it was difficult to locate recent video of some major swimmers. There has been an explosion of less useful footage. The earlier article featured Phelps, Eamon Sullivan, Grant Hackett, and Libby Trickett etc. Now the roll call is evolving. James Magnussen, Alicia Coutts, Cate Campbell, Corey Jones, Nathan Adrian, Yannick Agnel, Alison Schmitt and Sun Yang are swimmers of today who feature in underwater footage of major races. Analysing some of their strokes is beneficial to our swimming and please search for the others. There is significant variation of stroke for different distances. Michael Phelps remains master of his particular style of swimming with great underwater work following the dive and turn, substantial hip rotation, asymmetrical catch up with a long glide on the left hand while breathing on the right side. His body is almost “totally immersed” by contrast to the 50 metre sprinters. His stroke has an incredible efficiency but requires the application of great strength for each stroke.
