Who is the best swimmer in the world?

MICHEAL PHELPS,MICHEAL PHELPS,MICHEAL PHELPS, and maybe you in a few decades.

MICHAEL PHELPS!!!!!!!!!!! He is the best swimmer and the best to look at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoever knows swimming is best.

MICHEAL PHELPS!!!!

Com'on. You have left out Pieter Van Den Hoogenband, Alexander Popov and Roland schoeman.

Ian Thorpe? Freestyle? No way. The guys that I mention above can beat him easily. If he is so good at fs, where is his name in the Olympic and World record?

My pick - Alex Popov.

Ian Thorpe is the #1 swimmer in the world as of June 27th 2006 by World Swimming

It depends on what event. Michael Phelps definitely has the best butterfly. Aaron Peirsol and Ryan Lochte each hold two backstroke records. The same goes for Brendan Hansen and Ed Moses for breaststroke. As for freestyle, Ian Thorpe is better at shorter distance events, and holds 3 records for those. Grant Hackett is better at longer distances, and holds 5 records for those. Michael Phelps, Ian Thorpe, and Grant Hackett all hold records for freestyle relays as well.

Not sure about you though. ;) I'd have to see your times.

Ian thorpe he is the best

Of course it is Michael Phelps. He has also won many International tournaments for his country and currently holds the record of the fastest swimmer in freestyle etc.

granted im gonna say you... lol

u r the best swimmer then others....... so give me my 10 points

ian thorpe

ozzie ozzie ozzie oui oui oui. Australians of course we are the best in the pool. But I would have to say Ian Thorpe hes won the most gold medals and set the most world records

i think....... dolfin

It's certainly not Me.
I don't know who is the best swimmer in the world, but my guess is that it would be some particular fish in one of Earth's oceans.

Micheal Phelps hes the best

I think I'd go for the Thorpedo !!!!

Although they are all great swimmers.....and also so id Peter van den Hoogenband !!
