Swimming at the 1999 Summer Universiade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Swimming Tournament at the 1999 Summer Universiade took place in Palma de Mallorca, Spain from July 4 to July 9, 1999. Four records new records were set during this edition: Noriko Inada (Japan) in the Women's 100m Backstroke (01:01.06), Miki Nakao (Japan) in the Women's 200m Backstroke (02:10.32), Japan in the Women's 4x100m Medley Relay (04:09.90) and Mark Warkentin (USA) in the Men's 800m Freestyle (08:00.81), who won a total number of four gold medals. The five-title record was previously attained by Hungary's Martha Egervari (1963), America's Jill Sterkel (1981) and Romania's Noemi Lung (1987).

The competition unfolded again in the new Son Hugo complex specially built for the Universiade. It has two ten-lane Olympic pools (one outdoors and one indoors) and a 25 metre diving pool. The outdoors facility seats 5.000 and the indoors pool 2.000.
