If we do this under the same contents as running, such as saying the Usain Bolt is the fastest man on land because he holds the world record in the 100 meter, considered to be the fastest track event. If we follow that rule then currently the fastest person ever would be France's Frederick Bousquet. He currently holds the world record in the 50 meter freestyle, considered to be the fastest event in the pool. Another swimmer that is very close to him would be Brazil's Ceasar Cielo, he was the previous record holder until Bousquet broke it. If you would like to look at it as the fastest all around swimmer than it would have to be Michael Phelps or Mark Spitz. These two have set world records in more events than anyone else with spits i believe having 5 (when he was swimming) and Phelps at one point (Prior to him not swimming many of his best events at the World Championships) held 8. Both of those include relays
