Our state records are a proud recognition of the incredible talent within our swimming community - honouring both the achievements of South Australia’s top performers and the exciting rise of our emerging age-group athletes. They also recognise the top times achieved in our state by anyone, from our backyard, interstate or further abroad.
These records reflect the fastest times ever recorded by South Australian swimmers in eligible events, across a wide range of age groups and classifications. SwimmingSA maintains and verifies these records in line with national standards, and updates them regularly to ensure accuracy and transparency.

When records are broken at either a SwimmingSA or Swimming Australia (SAL) meet, e.g. SwimmingSA Championships and Australian Age Championships, these records are updated automatically of the swim. For all other meets you must apply for the record as results are not automatically checked.
A swimmer who breaks a record at a school swim meet or club event or interstate event or international event is responsible for submitting their own record application. It is not the responsibility of SwimmingSA to screen for records at these meets.
For recognition of South Australian Records the following criteria requirements are to be fulfilled before SwimmingSA can approve applications for records.
1. The swimmer must be registered with a federation that is a member of FINA.
2. The meet must satisfy the following criteria:
3. The club conducting the meet is required to provide SwimmingSA with the following documentation:
4. Applications for records are required to be received by SwimmingSA within 14 days of the date of the meet in which the record was broken.
