200 m breaststroke, men, 25 m pool

What to remember

Born in Santa Cruz, Caspar Corbeau swims for the Netherlands. On October 25, 2025, at a World Cup meet in Toronto, he covered the 200 m breaststroke in 1 min 59.52 s in a 25-metre pool.

The Dutch-American swimmer made his name over this distance: at the 2024 Paris Olympics he took bronze in the 200 m breaststroke. The Olympic title went to France's Léon Marchand.

The 200 m breaststroke has a long Olympic history: men have raced it at the Games since 1908 and women since 1924. Both have been on the World Aquatics Championships programme since 1973. In short course, the women's record belongs to the American Kate Douglass, while the long course records go to Japan's Shin Ohashi and Russia's Evgeniia Chikunova.
