Best Answer

Swimming events take place in Long Course (50m) and Short Course (25m) lanes. As a result, two records of each distance are kept, one for each course.

The World Record in the Women's Long Course 200m breaststroke was captured by Rebecca Soni of America on August 15, 2008 during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She set a time of 2:20.22.

The World Record in the Women's Short Course 200m breaststroke is held by Leisel Jones of Australia who set it on November 29, 2003 in Melbourne, Australia. She was clocked at 2:17.75.
