South Korea has announced its initial team after their Olympic Trials. In total 5 women have been selected. I imagine they will add more, but I don't know their internal evaluation.

In fact, Nam Yoo-sun, the first ever South Korean to enter the Olympic final in 2004, will compete at her fourth Olympics. She missed her London 2012 bid after losing the 400 m IM slot to her rival Kim Seo-yeong, who achieved the FINA B-cut before.

It looks like Russia announced its initial roster. I used a translator so I may not be accurate. In total 34 have been announced. 21 swimmers reached the individual standards, 9 will compete only in relays while 4 did not reach the standard, but were added due to being promising young athletes. In addition 4 athletes will get a second opportunity to reach the Russian standard at the European Championships while Yulia Efimova will be given a spot should she avoid suspension.

Should Efimova have her suspension lifted then Natalia Ivaneeva will be removed should she qualify at the European Championship.

 

That's all very correct  but there are 5 athletes who have second chance. the whole possible roster can be 40 athletes

The German swimming trials have begun and will last until Sunday. Qualifying to the German swim team has two phases. First they must reach the qualifying times at the prelims and finals (prelims have easier times) then they must reach another qualifying time (easier than final) in a different competition selected by the German swimming federation (you can only attempt to qualify in one). Thus athletes listed here will essentially be considered to be on the long list with the final list to be determined likely at the end of June/beginning of July.

 

Germany Long List Qualifiers – Day 1

Men’s 1500m Freestyle – Florian Wellbrock

Men’s 400m IM – Jacob Heidtmann, Johannes Hintze

Women’s 800m Freestyle – Sarah Kohler, Leonie Beck

Women’s 400m IM – Franziska Hentke

The "different competition" is not selected by the german swimming federation. Athletes have to select one of the following two meets within one week after the end of the german nationals: Mare Nostrum Tour or German Open (beginning of July in Berlin)

If they dont swim the required times there as well, then they dont qualify.

 

International times at the german nationals:

Mens 1500 free: 15:01.18 for Felix Auböck

Womens 800 free: 8:40.51 for Julia Hassler

Womens 400 IM: 4:46.01 for Martina van Berkel

 

I dont know if those times are good enough to qualify ... ?

Only Austria's time was fast enough for the A (OQT) standard, the other two were OST times
