To those that have set or broken any swimming records, which are they? :banana:
Anything from a school, local, club or meet record on up to world qualifies. :cheerleader: :worms:
Feel free to include any story leading up to how and when you broke the record.
since our Masters team ofiicially started in 2007, I have been setting records, not breaking them.
it's so much fun for us, almost everyone who has swam with us in the last 2-3 yrs has a record, either individual or relay.
I have almost all the 30-34 records. this year there are no 30-34 yr olds so they will stand for atleast two years. but when our 27-28 yrs olds come up to 30 most of them will get broken.
I have most of the 35-39 as well, but we are 3 in that age group so it's fun that we push each other.
we have lots of gaps so over the next 15-20 yrs there will be events that anyone can swim to set a record.
even though we are a young team our 35-39 womens backstroke records are even nordic and in some cases european records.
it's looking like some of our 55-59 womens ***, free and fly records could also be national records (sweden). This past sunday we had swimmes from 16 to 66.
My most interesting record is from 1982. I was living in Guam and set the island record for 8 and under 400 free LCM. the following year I believe they removed the event stating it was too long for kids that age. As far as I know I was the last one to break it before they removed the event.
