The Top Performances of the Millennium’s First 20 Years (2000-19)
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

By John Lohn<\/span><\/p>\n

A tradition at Swimming World is the annual compilation of the 10 best performances of the past year. But with the COVID-19 pandemic limiting the number of competitions that were held in 2020, putting together that list for the past 12 months didn\u2019t make sense. Yet, there was another option, one that complemented a celebration from the December issue of the magazine.<\/p>\n

One month after we selected the Swimmers of the Millennium (to this point), we have picked the top 10 performances of the millennium\u2019s first 20 years. The swims that were selected were not just based on speed, but carried a certain level of significance or marked a defining moment in the sport. To say the task was difficult would be an understatement, as several tremendous performances didn\u2019t make the cut. However, we feel the selections that were made stand up as extraordinary.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the choices, which are listed in chronological order.<\/p>\n

IAN THORPE, AUSTRALIA<\/span><\/strong>
\n400 Meter Freestyle (3:40.59 WR)<\/span>
\nSept. 16, 2000<\/span>
\nRacing in front of his home crowd at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Ian Thorpe was under immense pressure as his country\u2019s rising teenage star. As a World champion at 15 in 1998, nothing less than Olympic gold was expected of Thorpe. Despite the pressure heaped on his shoulders, all Thorpe did on the opening night of the Games was set a world record and capture gold by nearly three seconds in the 400 freestyle.<\/p>\n

Thorpe put the spectators at the Sydney Aquatic Centre into a frenzy, and maintained that madness later in the evening when he anchored Australia to gold in the 400 freestyle relay, marking the first time the United States lost the event in Olympic competition.<\/p>\n

INGE DE BRUIJN, NETHERLANDS<\/span><\/strong>
\n100 Meter Butterfly (56.61 WR)<\/span>
\nSept. 17, 2000<\/span>
\nAs the female headliner at the 2000 Olympics, Dutchwoman Inge de Bruijn stood on top of the podium on three occasions. While she prevailed in the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle, what she did in the 100 butterfly was her most impressive showing.<\/p>\n

Winning gold by more than a second, de Bruijn set a world record that would endure for nearly nine years. She was so ahead of her time that her mid-56 performance remains an impressive mark two decades later and would keep her highly competitive in current-day international competition.<\/p>\n

NATALIE COUGHLIN, USA<\/strong><\/span>
\n100 Meter Backstroke (59.58)<\/span>
\nAug.13, 2002<\/span>
\nBefore Natalie Coughlin claimed back-to-back Olympic titles in the 100 backstroke, she etched her name in history at the 2002 United States National Championships in Fort Lauderdale. Completing a feat that was long anticipated, Coughlin became the first woman to break the minute barrier in the 100 back and did so in emphatic fashion, as she sliced 58-hundredths off the previous world record of China\u2019s He Cihong.<\/p>\n

Coughlin followed that iconic swim by winning gold in the 100 back at the 2004 Olympics and duplicated the feat at the
\n2008 Games in Beijing.<\/p>\n

\nby David Rieder<\/strong>

COACHING<\/p>\n

015<\/span> SELLING PROCESS TO SWIMMERS (Part 1)<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Michael J. Stott<\/strong>
\nIn 1993, Swedish cognitive psychologist Anders Ericsson wrote that greatness wasn\u2019t born, but grown. His ideas later formed the basis for the \u201c10,000-hour rule\u201d described in Malcolm Gladwell\u2019s book, \u201cOutliers\u201d (2008), which holds that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery in a skill or field. Known by the term, \u201cprocess,\u201d to coaches, Swimming World details how they use that learning curve to improve the performance of their swimmers.<\/p>\n

036 SWIMMING TECHNIQUE CONCEPTS: FREESTYLE TECHNIQUE FOR SPRINT AND DISTANCE (Part 1)<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Rod Havriluk<\/strong>
\nMany sources suggest that swimmers use a different freestyle technique for sprint and distance events. However, science (both physics and research) shows us that a swimmer can optimize performance in events of all distances by using the same arm motion with a different arm coordination.<\/p>\n

040<\/span> SPECIAL SETS: TOUGH SETS THE DON SWARTZ WAY<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Michael J. Stott<\/strong>
\nDon Swartz, now at North Bay Aquatics, was Rick DeMont\u2019s coach at Marin Aquatic Club in the early 1970s when he set world records in the 400 and 1500 meter freestyle. The halcyon era was a time of mega yardage being done by the likes of DeMont and fellow Olympians Brian Goodell, Bobby Hackett and Australia\u2019s Steven Holland. When it came to designing tough sets, you could say that Swartz had a front row seat.<\/p>\n
