Women's 50m Freestyle Finals - US Olympic Trials

igwo6: underwaters are faster than swimming. thats how phelps and coughlin win. your only allowed to do 15 meters off each wall tho. people used to set world records completely underwater, so they made it a rule that you had to swim after 15 meters.

@danielcarrol12 that's not the strategy when your sprinting. Because, simply put, their not good at underwater kicks like Michael Phelps is. And, to get a quick breakout stroke and start fast into faster, you don't use more kicks. The reason Michael Phelps win is because of his kicks but not in sprinting. You'd see that he don't use his kicks when he does the 100. Only when he does longer distances like the 200 free where his kicks made the difference in the beijing Olympics 2008.

I counted how many strokes it took Dara to do that race.... 39 strokes!!!! And she was the last person to get off the blocks!!! Doesn't do the five-to-seven dolphin kicks underwater b4 surfacing; just a dolphin-into-flutter kick then surfaces immediately.
