Personal Bests
His personal bests (long-course) are:
- 50 m freestyle: 21.90
- 100 m freestyle: 47.58 (former American Record)
- 100 m freestyle relay split 46.06 (fastest relay split ever, although FINA does not recognize world records for relay splits, unless they were in the opening leg, because only the opening leg is done from a stationary start, whereas later swimmers can lean over in the process of diving as the preceding swimmer is coming in)

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“Your children don’t have equal talents now and they won’t have equal opportunities later in life. You may be able to divide resources equally in childhood, but your best efforts won’t succeed in shielding them from personal or physical crises. . . . Your heart will be broken a thousand times if you really expect to equalize your children’s happiness by striving to love them equally.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
