30. (scm-w) In the short course women's 200 fly, FRMN lists the record as 2:15.39 swum in Dubai on 18 December 2010; however, this seems incorrect. The date and location correspond to the 2010 Short Course Words, which El Bekri was at; however, she didn't swim the 200 Fly. El Bekri did swim the 200 IM at the meet in 2:15.39, though. So it appears that her 200 IM time has been inadvertently listed also for the 200 fly. As such, the records listed here is a previous mark: the 2:20.63 by Shahrazad Ramond from the 2009 France 25m Championships. (Coincidentally Ramond did swim the 200 Fly at the 2010 SC Worlds; however, her time was slower than the 2:20 mark..
