The Men’s Swimming portion of the 2008 Beijing Olympics are now over. Of course there was lots of hype about Michael Phelps.

Here’s a list of all the new Olympics Men’s Swimming records.
In addition, the same goes for Women’s Swimming. The only Women’s record that was not broken in 2008 was the 100 meter butterfly. Here’s a list of all the new Olympics Women’s Swimming records.
