A 2:19 200m breaststroke in January is absolutely nuts

All of the top swims by women. The men were SLOW.  As far as I can tell there wasn't a single men's swim above 900 WAQ points.

Its not unusual to see fast swims out of season.Kaylee McKeown can break a WR no matter what time or season.

Alexy went 48.24 in the 100 Free. Auboeck went 3:46.78 in the 400 Free. I think that's it though.

Swimming Stans seem like the most misreable sport people possible ''this athlete should be higher,no this athlete should be higher'' Am i wrong to assume all of those types are the ones living in the basements 400 pounds scarfing nachos down,while pretending their experts ?
