Much has been said about the evolution of times in competitive swimming. Statistical studies have shown that in recent decades the progress of swimming records seems to be reaching its limit. Man does not swim much faster today than he did ten years ago. But... Human beings carry within themselves the possibility of dreaming. The dream of going to the moon led man to conquer space, just as records will continue to fall, as long as there are swimmers who dream of swimming faster and faster. 1 (1) Noronha R, Espinoza EA.
