From what I can tell:
15m UW, 2 breaths, 5 strokes
13.5m UW, 2 breaths, 6 strokes
12.5m UW, 3 or 4 breaths, 8 strokes
12.5m UW, 1 breath, 9 strokes.

Quite impressive totals there: 53.5m or 58.5y UW / 8-9 breaths / 28 strokes

He REALLY pushed 15 meters off the start.

I was wondering the same thing. Looked like only 1 per length, 2nd stroke cycle off the wall. Of course, there aren’t many opportunities to breathe when you’re taking 6-8 strokes per length. Reminds me of an old Ian Crocker 100y free from the 2007 American Short Course Championships where he goes 41.7. Crocker took more strokes though.

How many breaths

Did he take that whole 100?

why would he wear arena suits if he’s new sponsor is aqua sphere? + he’s new line with them is coming out next month. would be confusing if he wore the carbon flex

He is wearing a new MP suit that will be released here in the next month. The suit was launched at the ISPO show in February. Looks to be pretty fast!

Do you work for Aquasphere? What makes this suit better than the others? Seems like a marketing ploy to me…
