Interview: Ian Silverman Post-400 Free World Record at Para Pan Pacs

Ian Silverman of the United States broke the men’s S10 400m Freestyle world record on Thursday, August 27 at the Pan Pacific Para-Swimming Championships. His time of 4:03.57 broke a record that had been standing for 13 years; Silverman, 18, was just 5 years old when Philippe Gagnon of Canada swam to a world record of 4:04.20 in 1991.

Many have tried to challenge this record – even Silverman himself gave it a good run at the London 2012 Games – but it wasn’t until tonight that the 13-year-old mark fell, to a very determined Silverman.
