No, the U.S didn't have their best team in and they will definitely improve a fair bit. They're going to have to though. I'm pretty certain the World Record will go.

South Africa have 2 of the 3 fastest swimmers in the world this year, but nobody really thought their other swimmers were quite good enough to match it with the USA who have 4 of the top 10. Looks like maybe they are!
