Claiming British Para-Swimming Records

Aquatics GB will automatically update British Records (usually) on a weekly basis. However if you believe a record is missing you can make a claim for a record based on the following criteria:

  • Records can only be achieved at a licensed Level 1 or Level 2 meet.
  • Athletes must be British and a registered member with a club affiliated to Swim England/Scottish Swimming/Swim Wales.
  • The athlete must have a World Para Swimming Confirmed (C) or Fixed Date Review (FRD) status or Aquatics GB National classification (BS) or Fixed Date Review (FDR) to claim a record.
  • Records shall be recognised for men and women in Long Course and Short Course events.
  • Rules applicable to the athletes' classification shall apply in relation to the ratification of British Records.
  • Athletes may apply for Long Course and Short Course records achieved at a licensed competition or at a competition approved by World Para Swimming.
  • Individual records can be applied for, from the first leg of a relay. You will normally have to apply for this record.
  • Individual records can be applied for as a split time from the start of a longer distance race, eg., 50m on a 100m race, 100m on a 400m race. You will normally have to apply for this record.
