List of Commonwealth records in finswimming

Below is the list of current Commonwealth Finswimming Records.

This list echoes that found on the Swansea Finswimming Club Website^[4] and the British Finswimming Association documents website.^[5] These records are correct as of 4 December 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.
