List of Malaysian records in swimming

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are two different kinds of swimming records in Malaysia and certified by Malaysia Swimming (MAS):

  • National record, more commonly referred to in Malaysia as the rekod kebangsaan: the best time recorded anywhere in the world by a swimmer or team holding Malaysian citizenship. So far Malaysia Swimming maintains an official list only in long course events.
  • Malaysian All-Comers record: the best time recorded within Malaysia by a swimmer or team regardless of nationality.
