Bousquet swam at [[Auburn University]] from 2001–2005. In 2005, his senior year and final year of competition, he won the 50-yard freestyle in NCAA and U.S. Open record time of 18.74, shattering the previous record of 19.05 set by [[Tom Jager]] in 1990. Bousquet is the first man ever to swim the 50-yard freestyle in under 19 seconds, and under 21 in the LC 50-meter freestyle. That time of 18.74 was his personal best in the 50-yard freestyle until 13 February 2010 when he swam the then-fourth fastest time in history, turning in a time of 18.67 seconds at the Auburn Masters Invitational.

Frédérick Bousquet (French pronunciation: [fʁe.de.ʁik bu.skɛ], born 8 April 1981 in Perpignan) is a retired freestyle and butterfly swimmer from France. He was the holder of the world record in the 50 m freestyle in a time of 20.94 in long course, set on 26 April 2009 at the final of the French Championships. Since the record was swum in a banned, performance-enhancing suit it remained in limbo whether the record stood until FINA approved it in July following a modification of his suit.[1] He is the first swimmer to go under the 21-second mark in this distance. He also held the world record in the 50 meter freestyle short course in a time of 21.10, set in 2004 at the Men's NCAA Division One Swimming and Diving Championships, for over two years. At the 2009 World Championships in Rome Bousquet captured a silver medal in the 50 meter freestyle and a bronze in the 100 meter freestyle.

Biography

[edit]

Bousquet swam at Auburn University in the U.S. from 2001 to 2005. In 2005, his senior year and final year of competition, he won the 50-yard freestyle in NCAA and U.S. Open record time of 18.74, breaking the previous record of 19.05 set by Tom Jager in 1990. Bousquet is the first man to swim the 50-yard freestyle in under 19 seconds, and under 21 in the LC 50-meter freestyle–he has since been joined by his former Auburn training partner César Cielo. That time of 18.74 seconds was his personal best in the 50-yard freestyle until 13 February 2010 when he swam the then fourth-fastest time in history, turning in a time of 18.67 seconds at the Auburn Masters Invitational.

In April 2010, fellow world-class swimmer Laure Manaudou gave birth to her and Bousquet's daughter Manon.[2] The couple has separated since then. Bousquet was given a two-month suspension in October 2010 after returning a positive test for heptaminol from the use of an over-the-counter ointment.[3]
