Lev Nikolayevich Balandin (Russian: Лев Николаевич Баландин; 1934–1980) was a Russian swimmer who won two medals at the 1954 European Aquatics Championships.[1] He also competed at the 1952 and 1956 Summer Olympics in three freestyle events, but was eliminated in prelinaries.[2]
During his career he set four world records and seven European records in relay events. He also won 10 national titles in the 4 × 200 m freestyle (1951–1954), 4 × 100 m medley (1953–1955) and 100 m freestyle (1954–1956).[3]
Balandin was born in Nizhny Novgorod but in the early 1950s moved to Moscow. He was married twice: first to Tamara Vasilyevna Panfilova (1923–2010) and then to Ida Petrovna Sapegina (1931–2001); both his wives were competitive swimmers.[3]
