message: This is going to be a running area for new world records as they come out.  If a world record is announced, add a listing below for the new record and a link to the results page of the time (if you don't know what I mean, someone will find it for you!) –Pakman044 23:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New world records 

message: The section on pool length in competitions talks about lengths in yards. This may be the case in the United States, however the rest of the world uses metres exclusively for swimming.
I have redone this section and I have guessed what the case is in the US. Please correct if this is wrong.
:An anon user has changed everything from meter to yards in the edit previous to yours. I rolled back everything to the state prior to his edit. Hope this is OK -- Chris 73 | Talk 11:05, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's odd in the United States the way the yards vs. meters is set up. About 90% of the pools of a "25" length, so to speak, are yards. I never have seen a 50 yard pool, however, just 50 meters. BMWman 00:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have seen an old 50 yard pool (it was a weird setup).  Per USA Swimming rules, long course is 50 meters or 55 yards, although that's definitely not according to FINA for yards! –Pakman044 05:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed the world records from this page and added a link to World records in swimming.  There isn't much point in keeping track of the records on multiple pages, especially when they can get out of sync. –Pakman044 15:10, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello. Should this article be merged with front crawl? They are similar strokes. --Mayfare 19:15, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No. Please read the article. Front crawl is usually swum if freestyle is required, but they are not the same. Front crawl is a stroke, and freestyle is any stroke you can think of (limited only for medley) -- Chris 73 | Talk 07:24, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with [[Front Crawl]]? 

message: This article states "most swimmers choose to swim front crawl during freestyle" and front crawl states "the front crawl...is nearly universally swum in freestyle competitions". So are there any actual (competitive) swimmers who do not swim front crawl during a freestyle event? Do they ever win? Ewlyahoocom 06:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Some swimmers in my swimming club will swim butterfly in freestyle. They are good enough to be called "competitive", but not national level. Thue | talk 18:42, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Does anyone not swim front crawl during a freestyle event?

message: hello,
is the roster in any particular order?   to me it appears random.  alpha (by swimmer) would seem simplest.
regards.
