    Thank you! The astonishing story of the "Untouchable" world record in swimming that was shattered, defying all odds and expectations. For years, Michael Phelps' record in the 400 Individual Medley stood as a testament to his unparalleled prowess in the pool, marking him as the epitome of swimming excellence. This event, often referred to as the decathlon of swimming, demands not just skill but an almost superhuman versatility and endurance, challenging athletes to excel in butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. Yet, in a breathtaking turn of events, a new champion has emerged, rewriting history and pushing the boundaries of what we believed possible in the aquatic arena. Join us as we unravel the journey to this momentous achievement, exploring the evolution of the 400 IM record, the rigorous training, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that led to this historic moment. From Phelps' legacy to the new record holder's incredible feat, we celebrate the spirit of swimming and the relentless quest for greatness that defines the sport. Discover the story of the most unbelievable swimmer of his generation, whose achievement has left the world in awe and Michael Phelps himself beaming with pride. Dive into the narrative of resilience, innovation, and the sheer love for swimming that shattered the "impossible" and set a new benchmark for athletes worldwide. This is a tale of breaking barriers, redefining limits, and the enduring allure of the quest for perfection in the water. Welcome to a video that not only celebrates a remarkable achievement but also inspires every swimmer to dream bigger and push harder, proving once again that in the realm of swimming, no record is truly untouchable.

    The reason Phelps was happy is because he never swam for records. He swam for passion. It is impossible to train as much as he did without a deep burning passion. The passion of the sport. And when you have this passion, you will be happy when a record is broken, even if it is your own.

    The breaststroke is unrecognisable now to what is was only a few years ago. A great part of the technique has more in common with butterfly than with 'traditional' breaststroke. This, in my opinion is the main reason for the faster time.

    An interesting thing about the breast stroke which I recently figured out is that it is the only stroke where the kick goes pretty much straight back, which is far more efficient than flutter kick or dolphin kick, where most of the energy goes up and down. Never could swim breast stroke because my feet just won't point out like that.... Now, if the over arm side stroke ever gets to be a competition stroke again, the record will drop a lot more.... Still need to get that video made... Life is getting in the way.

    It usually isn’t that athletes can’t achieve a certain time barrier like a world record or the next round number. It’s that they don’t know how to. Someone has to figure it out first. An example is the 2:03:xx marathon. Not long ago, that was considered almost impossible. Then it was achieved. Then the other elite marathoners adapted to this new reality of training and expectation. Now a dozen guys can do that. The same will happen in swimming. Paradoxically, the super suits may have slowed record progression because everyone was thinking “you need a super suit to do X, and I can’t use one now.”

    The Great Wayne Gretzky said... "records are meant to be broken" - makes the sport that much more interesting. However, I believe it will only be a matter of when, NOT if, someone sets an under 4 min 400M IM time. Whether that's Leon or the "next" Phelps in 10 or 20+ years.
    Look at Summer McIntosh, she owns the world record for the 400m IM (she's only 17 yrs old), and even more impressive, she is nearly 6 secs faster than the 2nd best in the world, which makes her feat that much more impressive!
    FYI: Records are great, but I'm more interested in how many Olympic Medals one has, especially gold ones!
