    • The relay records displayed here are the definitive national relay records, however a separate set of national relay records for club teams is recorded by British Swimming, but are not shown here. Records can be set at intermediate distances in an individual race and for the first leg of a relay race.

    The ratification process and involves submission of an application by the swimmer to British Swimming detailing the name(s) of the swimmer, time swum, date and location of the swim, names of officials and the swimsuit model worn. Upon ratification, the records appear on the official records listing. Records which have not yet been fully ratified are marked with a '#' symbol in these lists, and all records were achieved in finals unless otherwise noted.

  • [A]^ : The official British Swimming records list incorrectly displays Liam Tancock's 100 m individual medley record as 51.15, however the official meet results from the World Short Course Championships 2008 gives Tancock's time as 52.22.
