Michael Phelps' Personal Best
My previous posting covered Michael Phelps' WRs. Today, I provide info (with splits & reaction time where available) of 5 other events which MP may be swimming this year. Current WRs in those events are also provided for reference. See how far MP needs to improve if he wants to break those WRs himself. In the meantime I leave out other Olympic events like 400, 1500 Free & 2 breaststroke events.
Michael Phelps' PBs:
EventsRT50m100m150m200m50 Free NB. 22.94 100 Free(0.75)23.3147.51
(24.20) 100 Fly(0.71)24.0450.58
(26.54) 100 Back(0.68)26.1253.01
(26.89) 200 Back(0.70)27.2355.73
(28.50)1:25.13
(29.40)1:54.65
(29.52)
NB. Not 100% sure as MP didn't swim 50 Free that often. I believe a time he swum in July 2007 in Michigan is his PB, his only 50 Free race for past 4 years that I have been aware of. But I note that the seed time he has entered for Charlotte UltraSwim in 50 Free is 22.72.

MP still about 2 seconds off the WRs in both 50 Free & 200 Back. I really hope he can have a major breakthrough in 200 Back. His current PB was done in 2007 & his previous PB (1:55.30) was already back to 2004, which means he hasn't improved his times in 200 Back in those 3 years. It is time to make up for it.
