It depends on the swim stroke. For Freestyle, the fastest 50m world record is held by a US swimmer named Steve Crocker. The time is: 21.64. For Butterfly, the fastest 50m world record is held by UK swimmer Mark Foster, at 23.55. For Breaststroke, the 50m world record is held by Mark Warnecke of Germany, with a time of 27.00. And for Backstroke, the 50m world record is claimed by another US swimmer, Jeff Rouse, who swam it in just 24.37.

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.
Steffen Deibler holds the world record in the 50m butterfly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_world_records_in_swimming
That's Donovan Baileys Record! Green has the 60m record
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.
