Swimming Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

Universality quotas account for around 200 and relay-only athletes will also be at around 175. That's already 44% of the total swimming quota, leaving just over half for the "actual" individual competitors.

 

To translate better, each event would have an average of 17 unique swimmers. Of course, in swimming there are athletes which compete in multiple events, but even with that it isn't hard to see why some events struggle to have 16 non-universality entrants.

It was the women’s 200m fly in Tokyo where 16 entered the heats, so all 16 qualified for the semi finals 

 

They had 17 entered, and one DNS 

 

Oh and one of the 16/17 was a universality place for Honduras. 13 had the standard prior to the games

It's events like that where common sense should come into play. If there's less than 20 swimmers qualified in any situation (ie A cut, B cut or universality) when the final numbers are crunched, just adjust the schedule so the event has only heats and final. The event won't be ruined if that happens.

A few things:

 

1. Chelsea Hodges just surprise retired following chronic injuries and surgeries. I’m devastated. She’ll always be an Olympic champion though.

 

2. @NearPup I agree they should aim for 20 swimmers in events with semis. Don’t care if there’s less than 20 if there’s no semis anyway. Could force universality swimmers to only enter events that are low on numbers. That could be fun.

 

3. NearPup again: Your second point kind of defeats the whole purpose of A and B cuts. This would lead to the strong swimming countries, who already have an advantage, sneaking in extra individual swimmers using relay spots. You would end up with swimmers from smaller countries not being invited while slower swimmers from big swim countries racing individually purely because their country has good relays. I don’t think flooding the heats with extra B cut swimmers who have no chance of medalling is necessarily a positive.

The athletes are qualified anyway, they are taking up quota spots as is. Might as well get more use out of those athletes, especially when we are in a situation where we're struggling to get enough athletes in some events to justify holding a semi-final.

If I understand the qualifying process correctly, as things stand it looks like there will be more men qualified than women. It's strange that the IOC doesn't enforce equality in swimming the way they do in the majority of other sports.

Yeah, it's not even close. 308 men have achieved an OQT in the qualification period compared to 242 women. Ultimately, there's just much more depth on the men's side compared to the women's.

Safe to say that the men's 50m freestyle will have no shortage of swimmers.

Generally, a popular event amongst universality swimmers too.

Second OQT achieved at the :IRL Olympic trials with Tom Fannon going under the time for 50m freestyle. He had already swam the time but not at one of the designated events by Swim Ireland. 
 

Team Ireland now up to 5 individuals

Daniel Wiffen (400,800,1500 free)

Mona McSharry (100m breast)

Ellen Walshe (200 IM)

Danielle Hill (100 back)

Tom Fannon (50 free)

 

Others have the OCT time so we’ll see what happens with them

The final day is today and while there hasn’t been any further qualifiers, Danielle Hill has added the 50m free OQT and Ellen Walshe has added the 400 IM OQT

 

Some more OCTs and a bunch of Irish records too

OK, that's interesting. Not been picked for the individual event so far

In fairness, GBR never confirm ahead of time who is swimming what. Just that they are on the team. So, in a very technical sense, not even Adam Peaty has been picked for the individual yet. :p

 

Angharad was always likely to get that individual swim given that she's the only British female breaststroker there, she had the A cut anyway and she isn't likely to have a heavy schedule.

 

But this performance makes it an almost certainty. Puts her just inside the top 20 ever and if she can repeat it in Paris would make her a threat for a final place. Great swim.
