Phelps is working on reverse splitting

I was looking at Michael Phelps' 100-meter free time, a 49.10, and then looked at his splits. He went out in a 24.40 and came back in a 24.70. A Michael Phelps dive is at least a two second boost yet his second 50 was only .3 slower than his first 50. Astonishing. Link to Swim News who has a n article about it: [Link]
