World record progression 50 metres freestyle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The first world record in the men's 50 metres freestyle in long course (50 metre pool) swimming was recognized by the International Swimming Federation (FINA) in 1976. In short course (25 metre pool) swimming events the world's governing body recognizes world records since March 3, 1991.

The drop in world record times in 2008-2009 coincided with the introduction of polyurethane suits from Speedo (LZR, 50% polyurethane) in 2008 and by Arena (X-Glide), Adidas (Hydrofoil) and Italian swimming suit manufacturer Jaked (all 100% polyurethane) in 2009. FINA's ban on non-textile suit came into effect in January 2010.[1] FINA also released a list of approved suits.

All-time top 25

Tables show data for two definitions of "Top 25" - the top 25 50 m freestyle times and the top 25 athletes:
- denotes top performance for athletes in the top 25 50 m freestyle times
- denotes lesser performances, still in the top 25 50 m freestyle times, by repeat athletes
- denotes top performance (only) for other top 25 athletes who fall outside the top 25 50 m freestyle times
