\nAuthor Joe Zemaitis usually does some international open water swims at the end of the summer, but those options weren\u2019t available because of COVID-19 restrictions. Instead, he was drawn to a location closer to home: Roosevelt Lake, the largest lake entirely within the state of Arizona.<\/p>\n

\nCaeleb Dressel produced one of the greatest single-day performances the sport has ever seen in the short-course meters pool on the first day of the ISL Grand Final in Budapest. In the span of two hours, he became the first man to break the 48-second barrier in the 100 fly (47.78), added a world record of 20.16 in the 50 free and shaved 2-hundredths off his own American record in the 100 free (45.18).<\/p>\n

\nThere is no doubt that Adam Peaty is the greatest 100 breaststroker in history, and with a short-course world record (55.49) added to his ledger during semifinals of a recent International Swimming League competition, the British star only enhanced his legacy in the event.<\/p>\n

\nOlympic relay gold medalist Roland Schoeman of South Africa is facing a longer doping ban\u2014possibly extended to May 2021\u2014if he cannot prove his supplement was contaminated. The South African was handed a one-year doping ban that ended in May 2020, testing positive for GW501516, a drug that is illegal and not commercially produced after testing in the mid-2000s deemed it a cancer risk.<\/p>\n
