TheInternational Olympic Committee andIsrael Swim Association recognise the fastest performances in pool-basedswimming events at theMaccabiah Games.
Races are held in fourswimming strokes:freestyle,backstroke,breaststroke andbutterfly, over varying distances and in either individual orrelay race events. In the2009 Maccabiah Games, both men and women competed in sixteen events in the pool, each sex in the same events with the exceptions of the 800 m freestyle (women-only) and the 1500 m freestyle (men-only).[1] Maccabiah records were broken on a total of 21 occasions, eventually leaving just eleven outstanding from earlier Games. Of the 32 pool-based events, all records belong to just two countries the United States with eighteen and Israel with fifteen.
Statistics are correct as of the end of the2022 Maccabiah Games inIsrael and include only those events which are currently recognised by theIOC as Olympic events.
