  • Freestyle: 50 m, 100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 800 m, 1500 m

  • Relays: 4×50 m freestyle (short course only), 4 × 100 m freestyle, 4 × 200 m freestyle, 4×50 m medley (short course only), 4 × 100 m medley

    • The ratification process and involves submission of an application by the national federation to LEN 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 marked with a hash (#) are currently awaiting ratification by LEN or have been obtained since the last version of the official lists.
