LAUSANNE, Switzerland, April 1. FINA has solidified its World Junior Records process, and explained to Swimming World that today is the first day that these WJRs can begin being set.<\/p>\n
This means that Mack Horton already set a WJR in Australia with a 3:44.60 in the men’s 400-meter freestyle at the Australian Nationals.<\/p>\n
Here’s an internal memo with more details regarding the process:<\/p>\n
WORLD JUNIOR RECORDS<\/p>\n
For establishing the World Junior Records, the “Championships Records” from the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships shall be regarded as \u201cJunior World Best Times\u201d. Please refer to table attached.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 The \u201cWorld Junior Records\u201d can be established by breaking these times at all swimming competitions (juniors, seniors and open) after 1st April 2014. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 For establishing a \u201cWorld Junior Record\u201d the swimmer does not need to be the winner of the race.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Until the FINA Extraordinary Congress takes place in Doha (QAT) in November 2014, the present FINA Rule SW 12 will apply, except for SW 12.2, as only Junior Records in 50m pools will be
\nestablished.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Doping control tests are mandatory.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 The age should be determined by 31st December in the year of competition.<\/p>\n

Similar to the most recent addition of eight new relay world records, there’s going to be some time as the official world records recalibrate with the actual fastest times that have occurred in a specific age group. Most notably, Katie Ledecky’s first meters meet is going to have a lot of World Junior Records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
