* USA Swimming decided that American records set in techsuits after Oct. 1, 2009 – when USA Swimming implemented the techsuit ban domestically – would not be ratified. This is the case even for times swum legally in international events where ban was not in effect yet. We have listed the ratified and non-ratified records.
**Mixed relay lead-offs do not officially count as American or World Records.
