So more world records were broken in swimming. These world records are becoming like shuttle launches. Are people going to start to not care, even though they are really cool.

Caughlin becomes first women to go under 59 seconds in 100m backstroke, breaking her own record set the other day.

I have a question to Speedo, if I wear the LZR fast suit and I am talking to my mom on the phone, will she get off the phone faster. Just kidding mom… she reads my blog

Hayley McGregory set the world record for 100m back stroke, then minutes later Natalie Coughlin broke that record set just one heat before her. This is getting crazy.

Somebody commented that there was another record broken yesterday.  Katie Hoff broke the womens 400m individual medley world record.  I did not see this one.

Phelps and Hoff wear the speedo LZR fast suit.  Dude…. this thing is like material doping.  Are swimming records going to broken all over the place with this thing?

For those geeks out there like me, the LZR fast uses ultra-sonic welding of the material so no seems.  Sweeet….
