European records in swimming


The European records in swimming are the fastest times ever swum by a swimmer representing a member federation of the Ligue Européenne de Natation (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.
