As of my last update in October 2023, the men's 5K open water swimming record is held by Kristof Rasovszky of Hungary, with a time of 54:25.2 set in 2019, while the women's record is held by Ana Marcela Cunha of Brazil, who completed the distance in 55:48.3 in the same year. These records can change as new competitions occur, so it's always best to check the latest updates from official swimming organizations.
According to Track and Field, the women's world record for the 5K is 14:11.15, set in 2008 by Tirunesh Dibaba of Ethiopia.

Well, darling, if we're talking about a 25m pool, then 5 kilometers would be 200 lengths. So, get those goggles on and start swimming if you want to reach that 5k goal. Just don't forget to stretch those muscles afterwards, honey.
