Results

The full results of the competition are listed below. One world record was set during the meet, in the women's 4 × 100 m medley relay, while five American records and one European record were beaten.[1]: 31  The European relay teams were not eligible to set new records as they did not represent a single nation. Therefore, the European women's team did not set a new world record in the 4 × 100 m freestyle with their time of 3:27.53, even though they beat the standing record set by the Netherlands of 3:28.22.
