Swimming World Records Updates

New Records

Standard text: This is going to be a running area for new world records as they come out. If a world record is announced, add a listing below for the new record and a link to the results page of the time (if you don't know what I mean, someone will find it for you!)

Events with records achieved since the last FINA list

Format for Adding New Records to Respective Stroke Pages

  • When a record breaking swim has occurred, do not add it as a new record right away! Often times, the official results have not been released yet. Take note of the record however and place it on the stroke's talk page.
  • When official results come out, you should then change the record.
    • Make sure you have the correct time, swimmer's name, and nationality (teams are not recorded here, unless it is a club relay team [highly unlikely]). The time should have an asterisk after it to indicate that it is a new record (since the last FINA list).
    • Make sure you also know that location of the venue in question (city, country). If you don't have a good idea, make some kind of guess (at least country!). Sometimes the venue is actually in the suburbs of larger city (good example--East Meadow, New York in the suburbs of New York City).
    • Make sure you know which course the meet is swum in--long course meters (50 meter length) or short course meters (25 meter length, similar to the size of a typical pool). 25 yard pools are not a recognized course by FINA.
    • Indicate if the time was not swum in finals (i.e., preliminaries or semifinals). Also indicate if the time was swum as the first leg of a relay (the subsequent relay legs may not set world records since the start does not have to be a "set" start).
    • When you have added the record, add an entry to the talk page for its record, as well as an entry to this page.
  • USA Swimming will at some point release a new set of records, including the world record list (monthly perhaps?). These are not official records, but they are the best source for records since FINA does not update their lists but annually. The appropriate links for the USA Swimming lists are at the top of this page.
  • FINA will eventually release a new world record list. These are official, ratified records.
    • Go back and check the list against all of the current listings, and revise the article listings to match. The FINA list is authoritative.
    • FINA name spellings should always be used for record holders. If the article is not named that, use the following wikilink format [[Wikipedia article name|Displayed name]].
    • In general FINA's list for cities is good, but sometimes it misses suburbs, so occasionally the USA Swimming list can supplement (two good examples are New York City used for East Meadow, New York and Maryland used for College Park, Maryland).
    • When a record shows up on the list, remove its asterisk next to the time and update this page.
    • If a new record hasn't showed up, it may have been too recent for the list, or the application may still be pending. If it doesn't show up after approximately 2-3 lists, the record have been invalidated (e.g., failed drug test, pool too short, meet irregularity, record application out-of-time, etc.). Usually these kinds of failures are documented somewhere, so if it is clear that FINA refuses to ratify a record, go back to the FINA record.
