If two swimmers break the National Record in a race, do they both get credit for breaking the record, or only the one who finished first? I know for World Records it is only the one who finishes first, but I am not sure for USMS records.
Both swimmers are "credited" with breaking the record.However, only the person with the fastest official time shall be designated as setting a USMS record; provided the appropriate paper work is filed.
If the swims are in different heats, with the slower record in the earlier heat, then paperwork can be filed for both swimmers. But only the winner will be listed as the record holder.
