Very interesting, most swimmer have alot of ankle flexibility, but chad doesn't have that much. He keeps his feet together, when people like michael open up their feet.
OFFICIAL swimming competitions take place in either 50 or 25 meter pools. (OLYMPIC competitions, specifically, must take place in 50 meter.) It's not less official because the pool is shorter... as it wouldn't be "more official" if it were a 100 meter pool. You're obviously not an insider to the world of swimming...
i would disagree and say it is less "official", there are two categories to world records (25m and 50m) because 25m pools involve much less stroke and more underwater. 25m is less impressive and easier to swim in
Both categories are equally official. Some swimmers will find 25m pools easier to swim in if they are strong in the underwater and turn phases, however others would prefer 50m pools if they are perhaps not as strong in the underwater phase/tend to use their upper body more when they swim/do not like having the rhythm of their stroke interrupted. Short course pools also require more frequent turns which require a significant amount of strength and energy if performed properly. Neither is less impressive than the other, they are simply different in nature.
And soon Joseph Schooling will follow "Chad footsteps" from Regional title to Asian, and then ...take on the World Championship by Storm or Stormbringer. Beginning with SEA Games 2013 in Myanmar now, that had just started. Come on... Majulah Singapura !!!
+Francisco Pastran Martin Hay récords de piscina corta y de piscina larga. Batió su propio récord, pero de piscina corta. Fíjate que el mejor tiempo de los 200 mariposa en piscina larga es un 1'51'51 de Phelps, mientras que él bajó de 1'49 en piscina corta. No son comparables porque son pruebas distintas.
+Ryan Morehouse Well I guess you can say that, but you can look at a swimmer from his details. And he does everything wrong, its just about putting alot of shit in him that makes him go over his actuall physical limit. His technique is really just bad, like really bad. Keep in mind that I compare him to the greatest since that's where he is now. You can take alot of good butterfly swimmers out there and you can see how beautiful they swim. Head down after surfacing and hitting the wall, not turning his fucking head around like a monkey:P I just really hope he gets taken for whatever he is taking, cuz he ain't doing this without cheats:P
Way to go Chad! Continue grabbing those medals, you indeed flying our South African flag high, You Durbanite :)
omg why so much hate in the comments?? I am the biggest Phelps fan, but I looooooove me some Le Clos!!!
Le clos is also amazing in person! I’ve met him and he’s a very strong and positive person. He doesn’t give up, keep it up Chad! ❤️
You're a machine Chad,and you make us all so proud,Durban's own son!
South Africa's own son
Chad has improve his underwater dolphin kick, he has made us proud
Just chamazing..... WOW..... and he has a charmazing dad too... One of the best swims I have ever seen..... WOW WOW....
South Africa 😆 🇿🇦🇿🇦✨Nice one Chad!
efficiency, great swim, good underwater stroke
amazing , i was a swimmer, and i could not do that in freestyle, well he looked so relaxed, unreal.
A very worthy successor of Phelps
successor of phelps my dick, this guy doesnt even come up to phelps' knees
volcanus20 Chad fucked Phelps in the Olympic Games ;)
***** i know, but i highly doubt he will dominate the event like phelps has
volcanus20 That's a different kettle of fish xD
***** it is, but we shall see if he can go undefeated for as long as phelps has
He absolutely Smashed it

Michael Phelps is an international hero n I love him n what he accomplished will never be done again
What does that have to do with this vid lmao
Only 1 knows about that and it's not the likes of you and I
I cannot believe it.
hang on this a 25m pool so that means Phelps should still have the 200 fly record at the Olympics coz it 50m pool
mp will lose
But Chad will never beat mps 50m pool world record
+HappyLolipop You just wait
Right
+HappyLolipop fuck no Chad is shit compared to mp
He bodied he’s competition
🔥🔥🔥
How is this even considered official in a 25m pool??

malan van wyk
Esse cara parece um louco narrando, mas foi realmente muito legal o chad le clos batendo esse recorde
All you people talking about Joe Schooling... Tom Shields is gonna own this record in a couple years.
tom shields is class
well.... 4 years later you're wrong LOL
Daya satto owns this record now...
He still hasn't got it
And soon Joseph Schooling will follow "Chad footsteps" from Regional title to Asian, and then ...take on the World Championship by Storm or Stormbringer. Beginning with SEA Games 2013 in Myanmar now, that had just started. Come on... Majulah Singapura !!!
Well he didnt get the world champs title but he did win the olympics
absent no 9
zalig
where is schooling?
school
he was training in the states
eating at mc donalds
vierleditetde goiemire
I wouldn't say this is a world record , because it's on a 25 m pool,Phelps set this record in a 50 m pool
😂😂😂 oh boy... the 'great Americans' never cease to amaze
No vale
Es una alberca de 25 metros tiene mas impulsos que una alberca olimpica de 50 metros

Chad Le clos came to my moms swimming pool and came to my school and i got a photo with him 😍😍😍
in a couple of years Shields not Le Close is gonna hold that record
Good niet
this is short course i would not be too impressed
Lol this is faster than most elite swimmers swim freestyle
It’s doesn’t matter! He smashed it anyways.
But still. He can’t beat phelps in a 50 meter pool
Phelps still owns this is short course.... bullshit race
you're bullshit
+Ursula Jacobs who won lol
Hes so fast yet his technique is terrible!
Every swimmer has their faults and the dude has a world now that is saying something
+Mike Cronan why?
+Nalyd Llewop His underwater technique(that we don't see) is really good, above water it looks ugly, which just happens with some people.

Mdnia he very well could be cheating, who knows haha. If he is I hope he gets caught before the Olympics.
hahahahhaha ridiculous
TERRIBLE TECHNIQUE!
leclos' fly stroks sucks. He can make it work for short course, but for long course it really sucks.
kinda weird to say it sucks when chad beat phelps in 2012 butterfly and he broke the world record in this video
Where is phelps.....?????!!!!!
