Swimmers reset file books at World Aquatics Masters Championships in Singapore

If the three World Records, 15 Championship Records, and 28 Continental Records set through the World Aquatics Championships – Singapore 2025 had been the encore, the age-defying performances of the World Masters Championships swimmers delivered much more.

The Singapore Masters resulted in a rewriting of the file books, with 31 Masters World Records and 129 Masters Championship Records set over seven competitors days from August 7 to 14.  The solely days World and Championships data didn’t fall had been on August ninth – Singapore’s 60th anniversary – a competition-free day to have a good time the island nation’s historical past. 

Of the 31 Masters World Records set in Singapore, 14 had been by girls, 12 by males, and 4 in relays (3 males’s relays and 1 blended). This is 10 extra long-course swimming World Records than had been set in 2024 on the earlier version of the World Aquatics Masters Championships in Doha, Qatar.

Neutral Athlete Mikhail Vekovishchev was one of many standout performers in Singapore, swimming the Men’s 50 Butterfly in 23.15 for a pending Masters World Record within the Men’s 25-29 Category, a time that would have placed him 15th in the same race of the semifinals on the elite 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore.

For the most recent Masters World Records, try the lengthy course (50m pool) checklist here and the brief course (25m pool) checklist here. Relay data within the lengthy course pool might be discovered here, and the brief course checklist is on the market here. Please word that the ratification course of takes a minimal of 30 days, so some data set in Singapore should be pending official approval.
