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.

    :applaud: to Allen As for me - well I just set a record yesterday in the Winter Games of Texas for the 100 free. A "meh" time, might even try and beat it myself next year! I also had a host of club records in my youth, many of which lasted 3 years until my younger sister and her friend took them down.
  • Laura, You and Rich Burns talked about this goal in Long Beach, but I thought after Charlotte Davis' great 50 and 100 swims it would be really tough. But you did it. Amazing. IMO, the best individual effort ever in Masters Swimming.

  • Did you see this record effort?:applaud: Laura Val breaks all intermediate freestyle world records on her way to crush the 1500 world record. In her first race after aging up to the 60-64 age group, Laura Val broke all the freestyle records at The Olympic Club 1500. Starting out with a 29.89 in the 50M Free (STEVENSON Lynette 30:70; Charlotte David 30.01)she continued on with a 1:05.16 in the 100 (DE VIVANCO Maria Del Rosario1:07.22; Charlotte Davis 1:06.58) ; a 2:24.19 for the 200*(Conny Boer-Buys 2:31.69); a 5:02.65 for the 400M(Barbara Dunbar 5:22.47); a 10:21.68 for the 800(Barbara Dunbar 10:58.58)and 19:38.63 for the 1500 (Barbara Dunbar 20:46.82). (The two by Charlotte Davis were interim records and not off the official FINA site, which publishes Masters World Records in May and November).This was truly a magnificant swim. Gosh, I sure do hope she filled out all the appropriate split request forms. :bolt::bolt: (deserves two bolts)

  • :bow::bow::bow: That is such an understatement. I have no words.

  • :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop: (somebody make that smilie work kthx)
  • A team mate reminded me of our 55+ 800 free & mixed medley records.
  • I think I still hold a Northwest Zone relay record from 2003. Just looked it up, yup, I still have that one. Sadly, only 1 of us still lives there. And I have 2 or 3 VMST records. None of the records I held as a kid are still standing. My best friend was a year younger than I and was faster. I'd set them and she'd break them the next year. Oh well.
