No Swimmer Has Ever Done This Before (i think) 

0.05 away from your 50 free without a block start 💀💀

Dang, I think this is the fastest I've ever found a Kyle Sockwell video

LET'S HAVE A WEEK, Y'ALL!!!

Dude Kyle’s the best Swimming RU-vidr ever ngl

Gretchen CAN NOT BE STOPPED

Sockwell is the man!🙏

The 4 basic strokes are Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly, Front Crawl. Front Crawl is the fastest stroke so by default, any team will enter their best swimmer in each stroke which for "FREE STYLE" will be a swimmer doing the "Front Crawl". Hence, we will always see a "Free" event swimmer doing the "Front Crawl" stroke. That is until this event where the fastest swimmer Gretchen can do Fly faster than other swimmers can do Crawl and she can do Fly faster than she can do Crawl; hence what you just saw happen. Happy for her and makes for a great show and establishes an uniqueness for journalists to talk about in promoting the sport of swimming.

“i think” 😭😭😭

Thank you for all the context :) great video! 10/10

You’re welcome on the 50 back v 50 free comparison. 💥

In terms of beating a 50 time by .41 it’s kinda been done before. Going into 2018 NCAAs the men’s 50 free stood at 18.20 by dressel which he beat by .39 to 17.81 leading off the 200 free relay. Then he lowered it to 17.63 which is .57 lower than the previous record and I believe .84 lower than the next performer at the time (Cielo 18.47). I have no answer for qualifying for the 50 free backstroke though that’s just insane.

Omg I love Gretchen so much

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SOOOO MUCH

Kyle posted best part of my day 😊😊😊

Short course 50 back is basically a dolphin kickers discipline.

Hey Kyle can you make a video about NCSAs in Orlando! It seemed like it was a crazy meet

i love how a gretchen walsh video just randomly turned into a rant about caps

this is gonna be the best (two) week(s) ever

love seeing those yellow high tech results sheets 😎

I love your videos

How do you feel about high level meet including swimmer chosen walk out songs?

Thank you for pointing out that she was long on the turn... I figured that was how she executed her race because she's so damn tall haha. If her turn was timed right she would have easily gone under 22!

I LOVE KYLE

@sockwell we need a roast bro !!!

Can you possibly look at the 14 and under NASA. Championships! They are nationals for us younlings

“with 100% accuracy” Womp womp

that’s crazy- her 50 backstroke is faster than my 50 free by 6 seconds 😭

It would truly be interesting if one of the "disciplines" also was the fastest way to swim freestyle. Would there effectively be twice as many events open to backstroke specialists, if they can compete without cross-training?

How will this translate to Olympic distances? Anyone know?

There's underwaters and there's underwater teleportation.

Regarding qualifying for the 50 free. Is she a good freestyler? How fast would she be if she swam the 50 free finishing with back?

That is simply insane, my best 50 free beat her but it was only by a second, so take the blocks start out and who knows? I’m really surprised that they didn’t put her on the 800 free relay, dropped them down to 4th.

Did dressel break the 50 free record by .5? I couldve sworn it was like 18.11 before that swim

😮😮😮😮 That’s a lead like Ledecky

Why won’t they post the official races on RU-vid?

Where can I watch NCAA ?

Didn't Dressel break the 50 free record by 0.6s in 2018 (counting the fastest swim of the day vs previous record)

Wassup bik boi

Yards oof, long course is real swimming

Boggles the mind.

yooooo

💋💋💋

Are you surprised they didn't put her in the 800 Free relay?

in the 50 free she could start off the blocks and flip and do backstroke.....

are you commentating for the men’s champs? I assume so because you haven’t predicted men’s winners.

bro i’m crying my favorite coach just switched teams that little rat

No Views...

XX or XXY? dna testing for ALL athletes, ALL sports please. .lol
