Pereira also surpassed the five gold mark that belonged to Mark Spitz in the 1967 Pan Am Games in Winnipeg
In this edition, three countries have won, for the first time, a medal in swimming at the Pan American Games: Cayman Islands, Bahamas and Barbados.

^ abNote: Open water is/was considered a separate discipline from swimming for the Games, similar to how it is treated by FINA, the international federation which oversees aquatics, and by how it was treated at the 2008 Summer Olympics. However, Wikipedia protocol has merged its presentation onto this page, rather than on a separate page here (as well as on Swimming at the 2008 Summer Olympics).
^ abcdBrazil's Rebeca Gusmão won the women's 50 and 100 freestyle at the 2007 Pan Ams, as well as anchored Brazil's second place 400 free relay and third place 400 medley relay. However, she was subsequently banned from swimming due to a positive doping control result as well as tampering. Her results from the 2007 Pan Ams (times and medals) were also nullified in December 2007; and the medals in the events she swam were redistributed. This effected the standings of the women's 50 and 100 frees, as well as the 400 free and medley relays. Please see her entry for further information/documentation.
