Freaking crazy.
I am going to remember this when the coach has us breathing every 7th stroke in practice. Amazing.
What the hell is that around his neck?

Weights?
Could be, looks like something in a neoprene sleeve.
Sh!t!!!
I couldn’t even hold my breath, just sitting here, for 3 of his lengths. Amazing.
Wow…thats amazing. I did 115 yards once and was pretty happy with that…166m is incredible.
“What the hell is that around his neck?”
A tank of pressurized oxygen, feeding through his tracheostomy, obviously.

Edit- can anyone identify the music?
Wow!
Holy cr@p!. Wow.
Oh btw Kenwil, the music is:
Artist: Air
Album: Moon Safari
Song: All I need
very cool. However, I wish they did it with only one camera.

Thank you! Courtesy of you and itunes, the album is now on my ipod. It was interesting to note that one user review described this album as the ‘best music to accompany drugs,’ which is maybe similar to being hypoxic. I’m not planning to figure out either one…

I can just imagine how exciting his swim workouts are. =)
I timed his 1st 100m @ ~1:30ish. Combine that with his “strokes per 50y” and this guy has a heckuva swim golf score.
Not sure what I think about that feat. On one hand, I’m impressed, on the other hand I think it’s goofy, and then on a third hand, I don’t care.
watching that made me feel out of breath

Agreed. Not saying that he didn’t do it, but a single camera on the whole lane, without different angles would make it much more credible.
I could go to the pool tonight and edit my way to 167m if I really wanted to.
Man, he looked like a penguin doing that - just his fluidity was impressive, never mind his breath holding…
I bet he had a splitting headache for the rest of the day.
2 and a half minutes. Unbelievable.
apparently that’s not the world record any more.
