The Best Swim Of 2010

With the completion of the 2010 Pan Pacific Championship coming to a close today the 2009-2010 swim season is complete. Sure, the Commonwealth Games are oddly position in early October but that will lump into 2010-2011 although competing nations have chosen their teams based on this season's results. The Commonwealth Games aside we are now a wrap on 2009-2010.

The best swim of the year... Ryan Lochte's 200IM at the Pan Pacific Championships. Sure, there were a few WR before the banning of the shiny suits but the major storyline for the year was if anyone could best a world record back in a textile suit. Unfortunately many tried but all failed.

However, it did not get any better then Ryan Lochte this season. His brilliant 200IM at the US Nationals was only surpassed by the Pan Pac 200IM. 1:54.43. The 3rd best time in history, just slightly behind Lochte's present 200IM World Record of 1:54.10.

Great swimming deserves great recognition so it's fair to now call Ryan Lochte's 200IM at Pan Pacs as the best swim of the season.
