Qualification
Individual events
Each National Federation was permitted to enter a maximum of two qualified athletes in each individual event, but they could do so only if both of them had attained the "A" standard qualification time in the event at a World Aquatics certified competition between 1 October 2022 and 19 December 2023.[note 1][4][5] Federations could enter one athlete into the event if they met the "B" standard qualification time.[note 2][4][5] Athletes could also enter the event if they had met an A or B standard in a different event and their Federation had not entered anyone else.[4]
Federations who had less than four swimmers who met standard qualification times could make up a quota of four by adding swimmers who had not met the standard qualification criteria, providing they maintained a balance in the gender of competing entrants. All these swimmers could enter up to two events each. For example, this meant Federations who had no swimmers who met any standard qualification times could enter at least two men and two women to the competition, all of whom could enter into up to two events.[4]
