New Posts For Thread: Eric the Eel, interesting fact.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30624311/eric-the-eel-interesting-factHe swam 100m freestyle in 1:53 in 2000 at Sydney. To put that into perspective I can swim it quicker than that and I am not very quick. The world record is about 48s, 1:53 is slower than the 200m record I think. Now the interesting bit.

We have very good swimmers at the tri club who are a fair way off that sort of time so good on him.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30624311/eric-the-eel-interesting-fact?post_id=547059993#547059993Seriously impressive. 1.53 is incredibly easy for anybody who swims but 57 is seriously quick.
