For claification...are you asking if the French citizen can set the American record, or the French record?
But, I just looked in the USMS rulebook (available online) and found this rule under the Awards section:
104.5.7 Awards
A. Awards — All top finishers in each race will be given awards regardless of the nationality of the swimmer.
So one would think that if the USMS authorizes awards for non-US swimmers...then any record time by a non-US swimmer would also be recognized.
