I don't think you can call anything World because that is under FINA and they will not approve that. Sort of…
FINA’s GR 9.1.1 states “The words World and FINA may not be used in connection with any Swimming, Diving, High Diving, Water Polo, Synchronized Swimming, or Open Water Swimming event without the consent of FINA.”
Two items of note in GR 9.1.1 are the use of “and” in “The words World and FINA” and term “event”. So technically we could use “World” as long as it wasn’t with FINA or associated with an event. However, it may not be politically correct to call USMS records USMS world records. Maybe galactic or multiverse records would cause less turmoil.
