Participating nations
The qualification criteria for swimming and para-swimming at the 2026 Games are separate. Swimming qualification is subject to quota caps, with each nation allocated a certain number of overall athlete quotas for the Games, from which it can then allocate a fixed number for the swimming events. Para-swimming spots, by comparison, are allocated on a rankings basis with no fixed cap.
