  • how old is he!?!?!

  • Where does he get the dark blue Swedish goggles

  • Paul Bierdermann disliked this vid

  • @BboyTense123 he is my idol too

  • @sirdelrio Hackett is a incredible swimmer,i have always known that he was but the problem is that Ian Thorpe was out of the planet ,so it was difficult for Hackett to exist

  • one might underestimate hackett by focusing on how far ian moves away from him, but if we look how much hackett is from the others one understands that he was indeed a fantastic swimmer.

  • best freestyler in the world!! he my idol

  • controversial my ass that suit was shit compared to last year's suit debacle in rome

    btw he swam 3:4183 without a suit

  • a lot of swimmers do it for the 400 or 500. i think it saves energy
