This man owns the record in the 5o free SCM.South African,Roland Schoeman, pictured to the left is the current world record holder in the 50 free short course meters. He is the first man EVER to go under 21 seconds with an astonishing time of 20:98 seconds. Just look at him. This is the best streamline I have ever seen in a swimmer. Roland just looks like a hydrodynamic spear-tip.
At the 2006 Pan Pacific Swimming Championship in Canada he logged a long course meters time of 22:12 versus American, Cullen Jones', time of 21:84.
I suspect it was his turns and streamlining that greatly assisted in his world record accomplishment. What did Richard Quick say about starts and turns; that you do you fastest swimming underwater? It appears so. I got to get a better fly kick.
Here is Roland's website. It includes a nice gallery and links to his results from various races around the globe.
