Andrew Zhang of Northwestern Drops First 27 in 75 with Fins

We continue to break new ground as the 75 free with fins evolves before our eyes. This evolution is courtesy of Andrew Zhang from Northwestern, who threw down a 27.7 to become the first person under 28 seconds that we’ve seen so far.

Check out the list of other impressive 75s below:

It would be interesting to have the people doing the Brett Hawke 50 LCM kick challenge to this challenge and vice versa. Granted a lot of them don’t have access to a 25 y pool.

Give Coleman Stewart fins and let him do this (Lochte the dolphin kicks!)

Or even better let why bother with the 15m rule with fins?

Let’s add a start (it would have to be old school style) instead of a push

This can still be a whole lot faster, the fastest ever 100m in a 50m pool with fins is 31.24 (no breaking the surface).

Might as welll push this to the limit

It actually can be a trial sport at some point. There have been world finswimming championships for over 20 years. The current mens records (LCM) for the 50/100/200/400/80/1500 are 15.00/33.87/1:18.65/2:55.57/6:16.24/12:09.74, I kinda like the immersive event with the tanks. It reminds me of arena football.
