List of Scottish records in swimming

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scottish records in swimming are ratified by Scottish's governing body in swimming, Scottish Swimming. Records can be set in long course (50 metres) or short course (25 metres) swimming pools, with records currently recorded in the following events for both men and women.

  • Freestyle: 50 m, 100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 800 m, 1500 m
  • Backstroke: 50 m, 100 m, 200 m
  • Breaststroke: 50 m, 100 m, 200 m
  • Butterfly: 50 m, 100 m, 200 m
  • Individual medley: 100 m (short course only), 200 m, 400 m
  • Relays: 4×50 m freestyle (short course only), 4 × 100 m freestyle, 4 × 200 m freestyle, 4×50 m freestyle (short course only), 4 × 100 m medley

Records can be set at intermediate distances in an individual race and for the first leg of a relay race.

The ratification process involves submission of an application by the swimmer to Scottish Swimming detailing the name(s) of the swimmer, time swum, date and location of the swim, names of officials and the swimsuit model worn. Upon ratification, the records appear on the official records listing. Records which have not yet been fully ratified are marked with a '#' symbol in these lists, and all records were achieved in finals unless otherwise noted.
