Notes

  • C1^ : Record set by CN Marseille club team.
  • WB^ : World all-time best performances. FINA does not recognise 4×50 m relays and therefore does not ratify any official world records for these events. LEN does recognise these events as official and ratifies European records for them. European SC Championships are the most important international meets where these events are held: during these meets, world best performances are usually announced as world records even though they are not.
  • <1^ : Alain Bernard of France swam a time of 46.94 in the semifinal of the men's 100 m freestyle at the 2009 French Championships, however the record was not ratified by LEN.
