How Did the 50 Free NCAA Record Get Where it is? 

Sub 21 in 1964 is absolutely amazing. Pools were shallow as heck blocks were laughable suits were baggy no underwater. Hand timers ect

Wow dude! This is great swimming content you do a lot of research as well. This deserves way more views and subs keep up the great work!

6:46 Behind JOSH Conger's 200 fly?? Put some RESPECK on his name! It's JACK!

Awesome video, keep em coming. I’d watch one of these about any event but men’s 100 fly and 200 free would be near the top of my wish list.

Hey man this is really good swimming content! I hope i can see u make it further on this platform!

This video deserves soo much better what a video bro

awesome analysis man! This is just what the swimming world is missing

Wow I’ve never really been interested in swimming, this is changing my perspective 👍

Nice video bro! Caeleb Rizz Dressel is back, would love to see 100 Br

Wow! I didn't realise swimming races in yards was still a thing.

Took me over 5 minutes to realize this is David 😂 killer content again!

Great Video

Great video

I've wondered about this, and I agree with your conclusions about which meets and competitive fields lend themselves to faster swims. Thanks for the stroke counts. Do you know Dressel's vs Crooks's start response times? Some records are shattered when all the variable pieces work about as well as they possibly can on that particular day, like Bob Beamon's long jump. 17.63 probably doesn't compare to that, but I agree it'll last awhile.

This is a very good video along with the others you have made plz keep it up swimscribe

My guess is it will take ~5 years to break Dressel's mark. My best guess is it will be Maxiumus Williamson ('25) to do it. He's already 19.4/41.8/1:31.3 freestyler as a junior in HS. The kid has incredible speed and he isn't even in college yet. I don't think Crooks or Liendo will be able to improve quickly enough to cover the remaining half second to break Dressel's mark. But if the record does fall in the next two years, it'll almost assuredly be either of them. Or maybe it'll be some whose still an unknown.

Do forget that in 2012 block wedges were introduced, and suits have a large impact. Not sure “clean water” is a thing in a 50 free. Surface waves do not travel that fast and if clean water was a big factor why could Dresel not break the WR in 50m SC?

I practice at the Yale pool every day

Small mistake Clark Smith still has the oldest NCAA record in the 1000 in 8:33.93

Caesar Cielo's PR was 18.47

Back in the 70s Joe Bottom swam a 19.70. It was not broken for a while. 17.63 is crazy fast but someone in the future will beat it.

Yes (I’m gonna get a 8)

cool🏊‍♂

What is yards?

17.63 NeXT year from Crook

16.9

Josh Conger 😭

War Eagle

leon marchand when he swims the 50 free

Dressel is Faster UNDERWATER ! Real Real hard to do. This is why his record might not be broken Also, the NCAA may now limit the distance swimmers can swim underwater in this event. So this also may be a reason Dressel's 50 yard free will not be broken

1:59 that’s the worst pronunciation of “synonymous” I’ve ever heard.

Its gonna take a 17 to make an NCAA A final within the next 10 years

SMH why we care about yards, while world is using 50m

Mate it’s impossible to swim 50m freestyle in under 20s

The thumbnail is terrible. All swimming records get broken

Sub 10 Yall too slow Speed up
