Watch Michael Phelps post 2015's top time in the 200m fly on Aug. 7, 2015, with a time of 1:52.94 at the Phillips 66 National Championships in San Antonio, Texas.
Sebastian Volland Do you realize how many grammatical errors are in each of your comments? You're just spitting nonsensical garbage which probably makes sense in your defective little mind. Do you not see the irony in saying my English skills are poor when your comments are the moronic ones? I really do appreciate your determination to try to sound intelligent though. Keep trying buddy, maybe an education would help.
+Big AZN probably because in every other Olympic sport you only have one even where in swimming you have like 20... so is pretty much easier to triple up on medals If you you doing 3or more events in swimming where someone else only has one event in the sport they are doing
Michael Phelps is the reason I even started to follow swimming. Watching his race for 8 golds in 2008 is a great memory I have. I'm so happy he's back and performing very well. I hope to see him in Rio.
Jack Conger is magnificent in free and back too. I had the treat of seeing him swim a few times in his summer league, Montgomery County Swim League (MCSL), when he was a teenager. MCSL is a great league in terms of competition and fun and is where Katie Ledecky and Mike Barrowman (world record holder in 200 Breast 1992-2002) also swam as kids.
This is my event! Good god, I want to swim like Phelps. I die at 150, and it's all I can do to keep steady in the last 50. Just...wow. I've never seen a under 2 minute in person, this is amazing.
+Izzle Chick add some breastroke to arms while maintaining constant dolphin kicks then remove breastroke gradually. This method familiarises yourself to distance fly and one day you will make it even over 200m.
Minh H. Nguyen Thanks! I will definitely try it! I came late to swimming, and so I didn't have long to build up endurance. I kind of jumped in and hoped for the best. And then joined winter, and repeated the process. All help is greatly appreciated.
I trained in gifted sport team as a kid and keep this healthy habit as adult til now. I kinda discovered this tip myself when searching for way to complete my 500m fly. 6 months ago, I hardly can finish 100m. You may be amazed by the distance covered by this hybrid style at first attempt as I was. If it works, let me know! It means I'm on the right track for my distance fly
Chad Le Clos can brag after he becomes the greatest Olympian....which I don't think he will. Chad is a good swimmer,but he doesn't know how to talk wisely.
Michael can brag all he wants for having the fastest time this year in this event, but he is not going to because he is not that kind of person. That is Chad Le Clos' job.
Welcome to San Antonio Phelps, San Antonio's air pedigree breeds champions, .......Michael needs fan support though for his last day from locals such as Austin, Dallas, Houston, Corpus, El Paso, Laredo etc. its on national tv,
Does anybody know why Phelps chose to stay home to swim this instead of competing at Kazan? I don't get it. Why did he choose to swim against "amateurs" here when his Rio opponents like Chad le Clos and Cseh are at Kazan...
JustLouIt It kinda was. The director of USA Swimming actually gave him some slack and allowed him to compete if he wanted. Phelps' said that he deserved to not swim and stuck with the original decision.
bluewhale18 Bull-fucking-shit. He agreed to not participate in the championships; USA swimming gave him the choice. I love how you make these claims without jack-shit to back it up.

TriplaxXx Tripla XxX Lazlo is great swimmer but he knows that this year he is the fake world champion, the true champion is Phelps but he was banned by personal problems, pathetic.
Francisco Ariza Sorry he's the real world champion this year. If Phelps does stuff to get him banned, it's only his fault and he doesn't deserve to be champion. Not this year anyway.
jonaloin ok it is your opinion, for me Lazlo is champion only because Phelps was not there by his federation, and Lazlo thinks it too. In Rio, Lazlo will see the reality again, bad luck. Regards
if I had to swim that far without stopping even just the freestyle. I honestly think I would pass out.. or drown due to a full body lockup. I'm not even fat.
Patrick Miles Well, Olympic Trials don't take place until July of next year, and he's definitely qualified for that. If he keeps it up, he'll qualify for the Olympics for sure and hopefully medal.
First of all, phenomenal swim! That last 50 you saw the old Phelps with all of that closing speed! Secondly, would anybody be able to help me with the walkout song? Because I can't find the name anywhere
His final 50 in Rio was the reason he was slower. His first 150 meters in Rio was faster than Athens, Beijing, and London, but being over 30, Phelps just does not have the closing speed he had when he was younger.
What I thought before swimming 20 fly: *Swimming 200 fly* "THIS HURTS SO FRICKIN MUCH" *After 200 fly* "PRAISE THE LORD I'M SO PROUD OF MY SELF" What I think after swimming 200 fly. "This isn't that bad, I have a good strat!"
Izzle Chick 200 fly isn't that bad because I am a butterflyer The strategy is to NOT SPRINT AT ALL for the first 175. I am 10 and my best 100 fly time is a 1:11 and when I went easy it was a 1:13 WITHOUT a fast skin (Because in races I naturally go faster). I wasn't really that tired after swimming it. But my arms hurt a little. Also body dolphin as far as you can, it can really help. My total time was a 2:36, so I'm in the top 10 for 11 year old girls for that event :D Anyways good luck swimming that event all the time, my coach is making it, "My event". o: (If you body dolphin a lot you won't get so tired)
Lauren Clark Wow! Very talented! Good luck with your stroke! Yeah, I'm a butterflier too, but it doesn't change the fact that I always go out a little too fast XD. I have that habit in all my races. I got out fast, and I bring it back down for the middle, and then sprint the end, and for 200 fly I always get really nervous ad end up shooting out. I am awful under pressure! :D
Izzle Chick Ohhhh I understand xD I usually sprint out really fast but I can control it, also if the event seems long, sing "Hello" After a few words you're already done with a 25. :D And thx :p
With that race, Michael Phelps would have beaten the current World Champion, Laslo Cesh, and Chad Le Clos at this years Fina World Swimming Championships.
+Diomides Mavroyiannis We can't really understand it. If we hear anything, it's an unintelligible yelling mess. Sometimes music is played while we swim. We can't hear a thing beyond our coaches yelling at us to go faster (and even that's touch and go, depending on the coach.) :)
What's up with all the knee-length swim suits? Everything in men's swimsuits and shorts is all knee-length and it seems to be some strange fad that won't go away.
+kansasthunderman1 at that level of competition the jammers arnt just any jammers, they compress your quads more and give you a more streamlined silhouette compared to briefs
