Ian Crocker 100 Fly Prelim Short Course Championships '07

[ssoowww]

so sick i gotta learn those underwaters

[rat625123]

"Come on tommy get up there! Go!" Crazy redneck mom

[ssoowww]

This is meters correct?

[CrazyItalianTC]

Disgusting

[TheTorrevolution]

cmon like half of it was underwater.

[midgetsdo360]

he doesnt look out of shape lmfao

[MrTreyDZE]

I swim for aces with mark dylla he has almost every record out there

[Acearm45]

holy crap

[virtuoussinner]

Damn. I still love this man. :)

[xxh3llfir3xx]

his underwaters are fucking incredible...omg

[swimmer1293]

haha "come on tommy, get up there!!"

[gnemick]

"come on Tommy, Get up tha!" I'd slap that bish

[henrik183614]

he is definelty the fastest swimmer in the world for his age. his 100 yard free is fast too. he got 44. something.

[henrik183614]

my friend who is 14 years old is only .4 seconds slower than ian crocker on 100 fly. My 14 year old friend is a prodigy. he is probably going to own ian crocker within a few months

[dtacswimmer]

@henrik183614 bullshit. national record for 13-14 100 fly is 49.02 (Longyuan Gutierrez, Utah), which is already pretty damn fast. and following fina's suit ban, getting anywhere near that speed (even with a lzr elite) is going to be ridiculously hard. If your friend was .4 slower than Crocker, he'd hold a national record.

[ADVERTlSEMENT]

omg 5 strokes a length

[dtacswimmer]

@ADVERTlSEMENT haha that's really good stroke efficiency, but i've seen a guy whose stroke counts for a 100 fly go 3:4:4:5 and he cranks out a 45 low. kickouts to 13-15 off every wall. He swims for the Japanese National Team, though, so i'm sure he gets all the training he needs to do that.

[anxiovert]

Great turns!

[amigorulez]

omg 45

[free4david]

omg he makes them look terrible but their times are like under 50!!

[weownyoursoulsbit]

He absolutely destroyed that heat. But I totally could have been in there. I'm proud of myself :P

[Joshuwash5]

His training must be insane to have lung capacity like that.

[dtacswimmer]

@Joshuwash5 Training, blah blah blah. Ask anyone who's been swimming for over 10 years, there' a point where you stop realizing when you need a breath. Like you'll literally keep going for a ridiculously long time before you feel the slightest bit suffocating. You quite literally forget that you need to breathe, and when you do breathe, it's an instinctive task, you don't have to think about it.

[agentjam627]

Ian Crocker has never been a versatile swimmer. He wasn't even able to swim at 200 fly! And yes, he is pretty much pudgy! As an athlete, it is a shame he doesn't know how to take care of his own body. Only a lipoaspiration would extract his ab fat.

[madmongoose267]

He isnt a 200 flyer but his 100 free and 50 free is still bad ass. He won NCAA in the 100 free also. He is just a sprinter, and not good at distance

[mc1703]

his 100 free in athens was pretty shocking

[keysing1]

agentjam627 u are just a jerk. this guy is unbelievable at the pool, he spends more hours in the pool than u sleep and jerk off to gay porn put together. he has body fat because its not a con for a swimmer. if u were any good in the pool he'd be your idol.

[tglitzy]

studmuffin

[elixirnova]

His fly even at this meet looks nowhere near the quality he achieved back around Montreal... No doubt still blazing fast...

[landyachtzevorider]

i have actually swam against mark dylla, the second place finisher. The kid is amazing.

[gonzalosab]

are these yards or meters?

[madmongoose267]

yards

[MorganArchuleta]

my hero

[GumBummygummer]

whats the piont in the 100m fly..he works so good under water that he proboly only swam 50ms but half of it underwater

[jamjam09099]

look at his start!!!

[Monatee]

WOW. 45 seconds....that is godlike.

[dchillaxnig231]

I dont get how someone who looks otherwise out of shape can create that much speed... its mind boggling

[uyeahu]

He does not look the least bit out of shape in person.

[killbillthebunny123]

@uyeahu wtf yes he does he got old fat and drives a shit pickup truck

[joeydmk]

i get what you mean.... he has those bitch tits lol

but if it gets the job done than he can rock it!

he is so awesome to watch!!!

[madmongoose267]

I saw him in person at a meet last summer and he is a little pudgy but believe me he works real hard. Also i wouldnt mind looking a little fatter if i was that good at the 100 fly

[wildswimmercnd]

i would take a few pounds for that also

[jocken235]

COME ON. fat flots. muscels sink. learn Physics.

[martythamoose]

Ok, I'll learn physics. Meanwhile, you learn how to spell "floats" and "muscles".

[jocken235]

haha, ian crocker still kicks your ass :)

[martythamoose]

Indeed he does, my friend. Indeed he does.

[nsleon22]

wow.... 5 strokes a lap?!!

[Poli500]

that dolphin kick is monstrous

[ShreddinSwimmer]

fuck, thats crazy

one thing i noticed...

whats with the americans and the legskins?

i mean, i have one, but i only use it for freestyle

it feels like it makes it harder to dolphin kick

[spikespeigel]

it doesnt make it harder to dolphin kick lol

you keep your feet together? and just undulate through the water... if anything it would make it harder to do freestyle kick...it is not good at all for breastroke kick lol :P

[sijas]

ur probably kicking wrong then.

legskins restrict unwanted muscle twitching.

[ToxicLabProductions]

God, that feeling stepping on the block.

[oscareps2012]

he swam the first 50 faster than the world record in 50m fly

[Jonse70]

And does that surprise you, knowing that he swam that race in a 25y pool :)

[sijas]

really?

maybe cause this is yards?

[thedude12329879]

because its YARDS

[jennnnnnnnnniferrrrr]

his streamline is CRAZYYYYYYYYY

[pinkswimmer4life]

ian is cute

[boycrazy900]

i met Ian Crocker!! he was my coach cuz i was at a swim camp and he was teaching us how to do butterfly! he is so cool!

[homesickle]

holy crap he went a 45....

i wish i could do fly that fast and go that far on my streamline... and he went so far on his start.... hes so good at fly...

[nlblondeswimmer01]

eew i dont like Ians body type he has no six pack or anything :[ but his dolphin kicks are amazing im not gonna lie :]

[Jonse70]

Well, the thinner you are, the more drag your body has to deal with because of the "shape" of your muscles. Ian Thorpe og Grant Hacket dont have six-packs, and I guess they did ok on a good day... dont you think :)

Crocker is awsome, one of my fav. swimmers.

[poke1dan]

thats not true... the fatter u are the more surface area your skin has... more drag. so it really doesnt matter either way unless ur REALLY chubby

[starwarax]

the most strokes he took on a lap was 6!!!!!! this man is a BEAT!!!!

[kaylene2011]

Holy Crap! that was freakin amazing!

[manimgoindowndown]

I like apples. Jaepil is a dork.

[NineInNails]

Im in lane 1

[virtuoussinner]

his underwaters are pretty amazing, aren't they?

[christinebillytalent]

look at those beautiful streamlines. they go so far. wow.

[Shrooms4surfers]

Thats pretty damm fast. Must be hard to go that far with the dolphin kick. I should learn to do that better then Ill win more events.

[jaepil]

nope, dolphin kick gets u out faster than free kick
