World record progression 50 metres freestyle

world record in the men's 50 metres freestyle in long course (50 metres) swimming was recognized by the International Swimming Federation (FINA) in 1976. In the short course (25 metres) swimming events the world's governing body recognizes world records since March 3, 1991.

The drop in world record times in the 2008/2009 coincided with the introduction of polyurethane suits from Speedo (LZR, 50% polyurethane) in 2008 and by Arena (X-Glide), Adidas (Hydrofoil) and Italian swimming suit manufacturer Jaked (all 100% polyurethane) in 2009. FINA's ban on non-textile suit came into effect on January 2010.[1] FINA also released a list of approved suits.

gollark: Will people consider the random junk thing a "wall"?

gollark: I have bred all but 11 (which can't breed due to gender imbalance etc.) I can't wait to see how happy the forum will be with my ~200 random messies!

gollark: <@366271094648209422>

gollark: Please breed them now to the AP while I'm still doing the last 150.

gollark: With some micromangement of breeding partners I managed to get 6 "3G" omen saltkins into the general mess I'm producing.
