If you improve your endurance you should be able to go about 55 - 56 soon. \n\nYour 50 time is 24.55 so if you went out at about 90% of that (27.)you could swim your second 50 in 29 and be at 56.\n\nKeep working at it. Share your goals with your coach and you can be in the low 50's before you know it!

Thorpe is the best between those 3. Look at what he have accomplished. The world records he broke. The gold Medal and everything else... Thorpe is the BEST

Sietas also holds the current world records in static apnea of 8 minutes and 58 seconds submerged in a pool without breathing, set on December 12, 2004.\n\nDavid Blaine recently attempted to break the record. He just came short, doing 7 min. 8 secs.\n\n3 mins. is considered very good for freediving spearfishing.\n\nHope this helps.

freestyle, 'cuz u can swim a whole hour w/o tiring much, breaststroke is too slow

to be extremely good your 50 m should be under 30 but if your just starting that's insane, i swim a 34-35 50 and i'm considered a better swimmer, not the best but pretty good. don't expect it all at once bcuz when i started swimming i swam my 50 at around 47, it goes down with time. ANother thing have another thing your good at freestyle isn't everything, i actually did pretty good owith breaststroke, just focus on your strengths and not your weaknesses... also fastness does not just come work on your technique proper technique gives faster times, ask your coach for pointers before tryouts...

I think you would have to say that Kelly Slater is the best contest surfer in the world. But that doesn't necessarily make him the best surfer in the world. Guys like Andy Irons and Taylor Knox have done some amazing things on surf boards. Ken Bradshaw have been pushing the envelope of extreme surfing for years. Guys like Phil Edwards and Robert August revolutionized the sport in their days.\n\nSo the question of who is the best surfer is really as subjective as surfing itself.

Mark Spitz and Jenny Thompson. Spitz set the mark everyone has shot for ever since, winning seven gold medals in the 1972 Olympics, setting seven world records in the process. Thompson in the most decorated female swimmer in the world, with 12 Olympic medals in her career, including eight gold.

My best time in the 200 yard free is a 2:13...i think im not for sure but around there but i have only swam it twice and my 500 free time is somewhere round a 5:00

anything under 50 sec per 50m of the 500m is great for non-swimmers.  Anything over 1 min per 50m is poor.

Even though he did not break the world record, I think what he did was awesome. How many people can say that they can 1st live underwater in a fish tank for 170 some odd hours straight--then (without resting, eating or anything)become chained and hold your breath and remove the chains at the same time. Plus staying underwater for over 7 minutes. That guy is amazing. He definitely didn't fail in his task, he just didn't get as far as he wanted to go.
