5 Best Women’s & 5\u00a0Best Men’s Performances of 2017<\/h2>\n

Plenty of superstars competed at the 2017 World Championships in Budapest this past summer\u2014including Katie Ledecky, Sarah Sjostrom, Adam Peaty, Katinka Hosszu <\/strong>and Lilly King<\/strong>…all gold medalists from the Rio Olympics. But there were also those who stood atop the podium for the first time after using Rio as a launch pad, turning modest success in their first major international meet into top honors a year later.<\/p>\n

With so many great performances in Budapest\u2014not to mention other outstanding swims throughout the year\u2014Swimming World was presented with quite a challenge to determine the very best of the best for its annual Top 10 Performances list. And to make it even more interesting, this year\u2019s list comes with a twist: we decided to narrow the choices to the top five performances for women and the top five for men. (As usual, only a swimmer\u2019s single best swim of the year was considered for the list.)<\/p>\n

To read more about the ten best performances of 2017, check out the December 2017 issue of\u00a0Swimming World Magazine<\/em>, available now<\/a><\/span>!<\/p>\n

\nby Rod Havriluk<\/strong>
\nFollowing the conventional wisdom for both breaststroke and butterfly breathing results in excess vertical motion that has a negative impact on performance. An effective breathing motion requires a swimmer to extend completely at the neck so that the body remains more level, thereby minimizing resistance and maximizing propulsion.<\/p>\n
