Masters Swimming Queensland’s first-day update for the Pan Pacific Masters Games records 1,014 individual swims, 59 relay teams and 66 record entries. If you are following a swimmer, check the event, age group and result in the official listing before trying to compare performances. The headline figures describe different things, and an individual swim is an entry in an event, so a swimmer can account for several swims during the day. See the organizer’s November 12 day-one update.
Read the record category alongside the time
The day-one summary breaks its record count into 43 Games, 15 Queensland and eight national records. It also names swims that met more than one of those levels. The 66 figure is the total the organizer reports across those categories. Counting how many distinct swims set at least one record would require following the individual results and removing overlap. A time is most useful when read beside the exact distance, stroke and category to which the organizer assigned it.
Start with the official meet results linked by the Games. Find the particular event and age group first. If you are checking a relay, use the relay result and its listed team details. If you are checking a named record, compare it with the category shown by the organizer. That gives a more precise answer than searching the summary for a familiar name or reading the leading time from another event.
Use the pool schedule for the rest of the meet
The Games’ pool swimming event page places the meet at Gold Coast Aquatic Centre in Southport, Queensland, from November 12 to 14. The Masters Swimming Queensland meet page points participants to the program, heats, lane allocations and organizer updates. The published program is a guide to when to look for an event. Use the meet results to check what was actually recorded.
For swimmers comparing this meet with their own, keep the pool event separate from any ocean swim and match the distance, stroke and result category first. For club members following a team, the organizer’s individual and relay listings let you follow those entries separately. The first-day counts describe November 12 at this meet. They should be read as a dated snapshot while the full meet continues.
