Just a reminder that as of Sept 23, 2009 the "distance" Relay Events for Long and Short Course Meters are eligible for FINA Masters World Records. These events include the 400 Free, 400 Medley and 800 Free for Men, Women and Mixed. Standard World Record documentation is required.
The FINA Masters World Records are updated as they are approved. A complete list of the approved records since 1985 for all events can be found at FINA.ORG under Masters under Records then select "Check the World Records Online" (www.fina.org/.../records.php).
Twice a year we take a snapshot of the "current" records from this database for publishing in the "FINA Aquatics World" (May 1 and Nov 1) and in the USMS Rule Book (Nov 1). Also, this published list (May 1 and Nov 1) is used to determing who should get a FINA Masters World Record Certificate for breaking the "published" record.
