The European records in swimming are the fastest times ever swum by a swimmer representing a member federation[1] of the European Aquatics (formerly known as LEN), Europe's governing body of 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.
The ratification process and involves submission of an application[2] by the national federation to European Aquatics 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 marked with a hash (#) are currently awaiting ratification by European Aquatics or have been obtained since the last version of the official lists. All records were achieved in finals unless otherwise specified.
