One of the big stories of the London Olympics was that the swimming performances didn't do a collective belly flop after the 2010 ban on high-tech, full-body swimsuits. Eight swimming world records were bested in the Olympic pool. That's nowhere near the 25 swimming records surpassed four years ago in Beijing (or the 43 demolished in the 2009 World Championships). Still, it's impressive given the predictions that swim times might not rebound for a decade.
