At the founding congress in 1908, FINA agreed as one of its tasks the
recognition of world records.
The prerequisites for recognition as a world record have been improved and
refined over the years. It started with the establishment of the accepted
distances and the definition of swimming styles breaststroke, backstroke
(set in 1909) and freestyle. In the beginning, world records could be set in each pool with a length of 25 yards or more.
Split times could also be taken at any point, not just at the pool edge.
The next most important specifications were:
From 1923 onwards, world records were only accepted if they were achieved
in waters without tides or currents.
Since 1933, pacemakers, unaccompanied record-breaking attempts and
coaching during the race are prohibited. In addition, a pool length of 50
yards or more was prescribed for records from 800 m onwards.
01.01.1953: Separation of the breaststroke into orthodox breaststroke and
dolphin or later butterfly.
01.05.1957: In breaststroke and butterfly underwater swimming was
prohibited except for one arm and leg pull at start and at turns. In
backstroke only the usual start in the water was allowed.
01.05.1957: FINA recognizes records only if they were achieved in a 50 m or
55 yd pool. Also, intermediate times can only be taken at the pool edge. A
time swum in the somewhat longer yard distance could be recognized as a
record for the corresponding meter distance (e.g., result achieved in 440
yd, but with this time world record for 400 m).
01.05.1969: FINA does not longer accept records of non-metric distances.
Furthermore, it is now allowed to equalize world records.
21.08.1972: The congress declared the time measurement in 1/100 s as mandatory beginning from 01.01.1972. However, world
records could be continuously recognized in 1/10 s if
the time measurement was only carried out in this way (here marked with an
*).
Since 29.07.1976 the electronic timing in 1/100 s is
mandatory.
Since 1992, doping tests are mandatory for the recognition of world
records.
14.03.2009: The following rules were adopted to contain the material battle
with high-tech suits (in force from January 1st, 2010): The swimsuits may
no longer be made to measure and may not cover neck, shoulders, arms, and
legs (up to the knee). For men the swimsuits must end below the navel. The
opaque and water-permeable material must not be thicker than 1 mm and its
buoyancy must not exceed 1 N per 100 g. Only one suit may be worn. Other
supporting equipment is also not permitted.
21.07.2017: The congress set the maximum permitted salinity of the water
for a record recognition at <3 g/l.
