There is currently no recognized world record for the 1500m Breaststroke. A Postal Swim Meet is being run by Warrenton Masters and Sanctioned by United States Masters Swimming that includes the 1500m Breaststoke. Records are being kept. Swimmers can complete their swims at swim meets (during freestyle events) or on their own with a witness and submit times. Extrapolation of 50m, 100m and 200m mens' long-course breaststroke records based on the curve for freestyle gives a time of just over 18 minutes.
