well, i'm only familiar with american swimming so i will give you that:
the longest distance swam period i don't know. i would imagine someone at some point attempted to swim across an ocean. depending on how far they got, that would most likely be the record, but as far as organized timed swims are concerned, there is an american record for a distance of 26 miles-385 yards
chad fallin...13:10.28.00 and robin boughey...14:07.27.90
