Basingstoke Bluefins Masters: British, European and World Records 2025

Bluefins Masters has built a reputation for setting standards that extend beyond competition results alone. Across multiple seasons, swimmers have delivered performances that have translated into record-breaking achievements at British, European and World Masters level.

The club holds a growing collection of British, European and World Records, achieved across individual events and relay teams. These records span mixed, men’s and women’s categories and reflect depth across age groups rather than isolated success.​
