Treat the record as a typed thing instead of as a map (note the dot instead of 
the colon).

(defn to-string [^Rec record] (.toString (.i record)))

That said, and not knowing exactly what you are doing, the following looks 
better to me:

(defrecord Rec [^int i])
(defn to-string [^Rec record] (str (:i record)))
