Recently at a Virginia practice filmed by SwimSwam, coach Todd DeSorbo finished warmup with a 100 IM all out. You can see world record-holder Gretchen Walsh pushing the pace here, with DeSorbo ultimately clocking her at 52.7.

Back to breast turn legal ?
She’s awesome but we really need to include disclaimers or footnotes about Desorbo’s watch, he admits to starting it when the feet pass the flags.
You can time it yourself if you want lol
Ha, I didn’t see her at the start so I was very confused about why she popped up so early.
So you’re basically showing and telling us that the University of Virginia women’s team prides itself on swimming age grouper events in practice? A 12yo named Zoe Skirball once swam a 57.47 in 100 IM in 2017. Relevant? We know that the Walsh sisters as 6-foot-plus 21+ age groupers can swim fast underwater in short pools without taking a breath. This is not Breaking News.
I assume you’re just trolling here. But SC 100IM is a legit WR — and Grethen Walsh is the fastest in history
Youtube timestamps put it at 53.95 so that 52.7 is a very generous watch.
Edit: to be clear, still extremely fast.
I’m pretty sure he starts the timer once the swimmer has passed the flags off the push off. He believes the time that’s drawn is similar to that from a start.
Haven’t checked so can’t confirm if that’s the case here.
Desorbo has to have a fast watch on purpose to motivate his swimmers or somehting. No way he’s this bad at working a watch lol
Da-aaaaaaaamn!
has anyone done a wellness check on the two guys who pushed off at the same time?
Would you need one?
I assume they’re used to it by now
