FINA (Federation Internationale de Natation) is the international organization recognized by the IOC for competitive swimming and other aquatic sports. Every year FINA publishes masters swimming Top Ten lists for short-course meter (SCM) and long-course meter (LCM) pool competitions. The table below summarizes the performances by members of our LMSC that were world-ranked for the most recent two seasons. Note that FINA rules are slightly different than USMS: there is no 18-24 age group, or 72-99 age group in relays, and times from USMS-recognized (or USA-S) meets are not eligible for inclusion in Top Ten.
| Season | Top Ten Swims | # 1 Swims |
|---|---|---|
| SCM 2012 | 40 | 5 |
| LCM 2012 | 14 | 0 |
The following table lists the world-ranked performances by LMSC members and relays. It is sortable (click on the column title) and filterable (using the search box, separating multiple terms by spaces). Note: these swims were compiled manually from the FINA website when the rankings come out. There may be errors due to mistakes or corrections; if you spot any, please contact the LMSC Records and Top Ten chair
