French swimmer, Coralie Balmy, during warm-up. In my opinion, Coralie, is so stunning to look at that she makes movie star, Halle Berry, look like a waitress at Denny's.

I have a feeling we're going to be hearing a lot about Coralie in the coming years. France needs a new Laure Manadou.
I have not done enough research on he distance swimmers but she and Chloe Sutton are contenders.
Tony,
I think Chloe has a ways to go. She is currently ranked 10th and 8th in the 400 and 800 respectively. My contenders (in no particular order);
Lotte Friis- 800 only (Denmark)
Rebecca Adlington (Great Britain)
Federica Pellegrini-400 only (Italy)
To name a few.
