Women Are Breaking World Records at a Rate Men Can’t Match - Here’s Why

Women are stacking multiple world records - and the men aren’t.

In this Night Swim clip, we dive into why female swimmers currently dominate the world-record leaderboard, why the numbers look wild on paper, and why this isn’t as simple as “women are better now.”

We talk:

• Short course vs long course (aka record inflation season)

• The American college system and strength training cheat codes

• Why the data looks shocking until you actually read it

• Who’s benefiting, who’s getting cooked, and why nobody wants to say it out loud

Welcome to the late-night swimming conversation with no lifeguards on deck and zero respect for bad stats.
