What is the M 25m Freestyle WR?

I know this is not an official FINA event, but I am very curious. When I view the 50m SC WR video, I suspect they hit 25m in around 9.8sec, but they were executing a flip turn rather than a reach. I'm thinking that 9.5sec is a good estimate for the fastest 25m. Thoughts? (This is important to me because hard 25m swims are a part of my program, and I want to accurately compare my slow/newbie times to WRs, in order to see what distances I am better at.)
