Notes
a Ratified as an American record by USA Swimming, but was not the fastest time by an American swimmer. USA Swimming’s ban on high-technology swimwear was enforced two months before FINA's, so while American swimmers remained eligible to wear the suits in international competition between 1 October and 31 December 2009, performances in that period were not ratified as American records. The official results do not reflect this distinction.[4]
