Commonwealth finswimming records

= Commonwealth Records in Finswimming =

Below is the list of current Commonwealth Finswimming Records. The records are ratified by the Commonwealth Finswimming Committee, which is made up of the National Finswimming Governing Bodies of Commonwealth of Nations. The First Commonwealth Championships were held in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia in February 2007 ( [CUGA, 2008] , [BFA, 2008] , [Ozfin, 2007] ).

This page does not include the Commonwealth Finswimming Championship Records. This list echoes that found on the Swansea Finswimming Club Website ( [Swansea Finswimming Club, 2008] ) and the British Finswimming Association documents website ( [BFA Doc's, 2008] ). These records are correct as of 13th April 2008.

Times set before the First Commonwealth Championships have been allowed. All records have been accepted as a result of documentary evidence of the events or time-trials that they were set at.

Currently there are only four nations hold records: Australia (10), England (8), New Zealand (7) and Singapore (5). Finswimming is currently competed in 8 Commonwealth Countries (including home nations); Australia, Canada, Cyprus, England, New Zealand, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa and Wales ( [CUGA, 2008] , [BFA, 2008] , [Ozfin, 2007] , [Rotorua Geyser Dolphins, 2001] , [CMAS, 2008] , [The East London Dispatch, 2003] , [CMAS 2008] ).
