1 mile swim record?
The longest race in international competitive swimming (in a pool) is 1500 meters. It is 0.93 of a mile and is often referred to colloquially as "the mile." In the U.S., swimmers also swim the 1650 yard freestyle, which is also sometimes called "the mile." In open water, there is a 1 mile race, but the world records differ from venue to venue. Thus, records are typically specific to the place -- there is no 1 record for entire world.

That is an average time per 100 meters of 58.07 seconds. The world record for the short course (25 meter pool) men's 1500 meter freestyle was set by Australian swimmer, Grant Hackett, at the 2001 Australian Short Course Championships in Perth, Australia.
