List of United States records in swimming
- List of United States records in swimming
There are two different kinds of swimming records in the United States and certified by USA Swimming:
*USA Record, more commonly referred to in the USA as the American Record: the fastest time by a USA swimmer. [The USA Record, or "American Record", represents the fastest time swum by a United States citizen in any geographic location, provided that they are "U.S. Sports Citizens who achieve an official time in accordance with USA Swimming rules." ( [http://www.usaswimming.org/USASWeb/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabId=95&Alias=Rainbow&Lang=en USA Swimming Rules] 104.2.2(A)(1)). NOTE: Portions of this rule was changed in Sept.2008 so that only swimmers who are representing the USA at the time of the swim, or capable of representing the USA, are eligible. This follows Mike Alexandrov's setting of the American Record in the 100 breaststroke (25 yds) at a time when he was swimming internationally for Bulgaria.]
*US Open Record: The fastest time on USA soil. [This record represents the fastest time swum by "anyone" within the geographic territory of the United States, provided that the person is "eligible to compete under and achieving an official time in accordance with USA Swimming rules." ( [http://www.usaswimming.org/USASWeb/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabId=95&Alias=Rainbow&Lang=en USA Swimming Rules] 104.2.2(A)(2)). Prior to 1985, this record included the fastest time swum by any United States citizen anywhere, but from 1985-on US Open records may not be attained in this manner. However, any remaining old records are valid until they are bettered. (This record should not be confused with the "US Open Meet Record", which is the fastest time swum at that meet.)]
An asterisk (*) indicates that this record has been achieved since the latest USA Swimming records publication. A plus (+) indicates that this record also is the current world record.
