List of Surinamese records in swimming

The Suriname Records in Swimming are the fastest times ever swum by an individual from Suriname. These national records are maintained by Suriname's swimming federation: Surinaamse Zwem Bond (SZB).[1]

SZB keeps records for both for males and females, for events swum in long (50m) and short (25m) course pools. Records are kept in the following events (by stroke):

• freestyle (free): 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000 (25m only) and 1500;
• backstroke (back): 50, 100 and 200;
• breaststroke (breast): 50, 100 and 200;
• butterfly (fly): 50, 100 and 200;
• individual medley (I.M.): 100 (25m only), 200 and 400;
• relays: 4x50 free, 4x100 free, 4x200 free, 4x50 medley, and 4 × 100 medley.

All records were achieved in finals unless otherwise specified.

(Note: A USA Swimming "Time Search" for Adel verifies she swam the 2:15.26 (200 IM) and 4:45.31 (400 IM) at the 2000 NCAAs; however, she swam faster to qualify for the meet in December 1999, clocking 2:14.26 (2/12/99) and 4:42.32 (3/12/99) at the 2000 UT Invitational in Austin, Texas. She also clocked a 56.68 in the 100 free (4/12/99), which would also be faster than the existing national mark.
