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.

Interesting , think most of would agree the number 1 achievement for Master swimming is FINA world records so why is the list actualized on a 6moths period?
Are not all swimmers entitle to know which time should their nº 1 goal be?
Because the list is really never updated , at least on 72h base (time for the meet organizers in Europe to release the official results), have seen WR being announced without “actually” being WR.
Though for me, it really does not matter the veracity of “WR” as it brings a lot of joy to the meet I wonder why we should be differed from the “other WR list”. We do not have anti doping control, we are identified immediately after a record , most of the pool we choose to do fast times are measured…. Why the 6 moths gap?
My personal opinion. WR, record of any type are nice but are done by a minority in Master swimming. Is not Masters swimming about quantity? Why we do not have statistic about:
Average ages on meetings
How has the major events have been evolving on the age base, do we have more seniors swimming…???
…
Most news that come from FINA and European federations are about “elite masters swimmers”. There is no concern about the age evolution, the regular participation, etc
Is it possible to combine quality with quantity and made every swimmer feel important?
too much talk...!:wiggle:
