This is an opinion, but I've always liked Natalie Coughlin as a swimmer. Her technique is great and her times are fast, too.
I do believe Micheal Phelps is the best swimmer at swimming event's in the world.

It depends on whether you are thinking of the best swimmer as the fastest swimmer or the best all-around swimmer. -The fastest 50m freestyle time is currently 23.97 by Libby Trickett. (October, 2008) -The best IM women swimmer is Stephanie Rice with a 2:08.45 in the 200m IM and a 4:29.43(?) in the 400m IM. (October, 2008)

I'd say ripjaws[ because he's the only swimmer].
Oh yes. A Basking Shark is set on permanent cruise control.
As of 2014 the best swimmer from Switzerland is Dominik Meichtry. He holds six national records and was voted athlete of the year.
Micheal Phelps is the worlds best swimmer. He won 8 olympic golds in Athens, and also this year, 2008, in Bejing. No one has ever won this many medals before, in history. Many agree that he is the worlds best swimmer! before phelps, grant hackett was the best. Yet if you think about it Mark Spitz was the best swimmer of all time. That's because he swam the Olymics with no goggles unlike anyone post 1976.
