Swimmingly! An Aquatics thread...

[Coco]

The Olympics are only 2 years away, so it's as good a time as any to start this thread.

Congrats to Summer McIntosh on breaking the 200m butterfly record!

Picking my jaw off the floor! Huge congrats to Summer.

Now I think it’s just the men’s free (50/100/200) WR left from the super suit era?

All womens are now gone.
Still on the books for men are 200/800 Free, 200 back and Mens 4x100 and 4x200 Free medleys.

I don’t really follow swimming other than watching the Olympics but I will do now! Our local boy (Jersey, Channel Islands) just won a gold at the Commonwealth Games (200m breaststroke) after taking a silver in 100m earlier in the week. This makes him Jersey’s most successful athlete ever at the Commonwealth Games so everyone is really excited.

Filip Nowacki. Remember his name for the future! He’s only 18 and is the current Junior World Champion in both events.
