What to remember
Hódmezővásárhely, Hungary, hosted the 2011 Finswimming World Championships. On August 1, China's Liu Jiao swam the 800 m surface there in 6 min 46.79 s.
In surface events the swimmer races along the top of the water wearing fins. Finswimming's governing body, the Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques, recognised the time as a world record; swims in short course pools do not count for it.
