There is no freestyle swimmer who has ever matched Shane Gould's extraordinary accomplishments. Not Michael Phelps nor Ian Thorpe. After retiring at the age of 16-years-old Shane Gould had held a world record in every single freestyle category of the day. From the 100 to the 1500-LCM, Shane Gould was an apex predator in the pool; ergo, she is the greatest apex freestyle swimmer ever.

I've met her and swum with her--her stroke is incredibly smooth and graceful. There is something about some swimmers that they seem to have an innate feel for the water in how they swim.
I know, Rada Owen is one. Carpe Diem
