Swimming Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016

This is by far the best women's team I've ever seen Canada put together. I have really high hopes for this summer and 2020.

That makes more sense. Not too keen on Darragh, his fly wasn't fast enough and it could cost Canada a spot in the finals. Maybe Kisil or Condorelli aren't planning to take

the relay that seriously.

The 50 free the same day is probably going to be their focus. Beside, Canada isn't going to make a splash on the medley relay. The focus on the men's side relay wise has to be the 4x100 free.

Canada's selection process is indeed clear. They must only achieve an Olympic Qualifying Time and a top finish in each individual pool event to secure their nomination to the Olympic team.

 

Japan and Netherlands have their own Olympic standards in selecting their swimmers. In case they may have not reached the standard, Japanese Swimming Federation has a subjective decision to add more swimmers. For the Netherlands, I don't know yet.

 

China's selection process isn't clear though, so let's just wait further.

According to Japan Times 34 athletes were selected to the Olympic team, but I can't find a list anywhere.

Forgot to post this yesterday.

 

South African Qualifiers - Day 1

 

Men's 400m Freestyle - Myles Brown

Men's 100m Breaststroke - Cameron van der Burgh

Men's 400m IM - Sebastien Rousseau, Michael Meyer

 

Van der Burgh's time was done in the semi-final according to SwimSwam that's enough (final hasn't occured yet). Nobody qualified in the women's 400m IM

We're still waiting for the final word, but here are the following swimmers from the Netherlands which finished below the Dutch Qualification Time at the Eindhoven Swim Meet.

 

Men's 400m Freestyle - Maarten Brzoskowski

Women's 50m Freestyle - Ranomi Kromowidjojo

Women's 100m Freestyle - Femke Heemskerk, Ranomi Kromowidjojo

Women's 100m Backstroke - Kira Toussaint

 

Netherlands has also previously qualified two open water swimmers (Ferry Weertman, Sharon van Rouwendaal). The main things to look for is the composition of the men's 4x200m freestyle relay and women's 4x100m freestyle relay.

Brzoskowski already had the qualifying standard earlier, Toussaint is a new addition 

 

Also some new names came up in the women's 200m, which could make the composition of the 4x200 interesting. The 100 free for the women was a bit disappointing in general and so was Verschuren not making the standard yet (he has one chance left at the European champs in London).
