Will the results be used to make the Olympic team?

Most of the events, 1 or 2 swimmer are qualified

There is no choice

women's 200 butterfly and the medley events the results be used

but the federal capitan (I do not know how to translate better ) says the final word.

British Swimming Trials - Day 1

 

Men's 400m Freestyle - James Guy, Stephen Milne

Women's 200m Freestyle- Jazmin Carlin, Eleanor Faulkner

Men's 100m Breaststroke- Adam Peaty, Ross Murdoch

Women's 400m IM- Hannah Miley, Aimee Willmott

 

If I understand well,only winner will be in Rio?

The winner will only qualify if they reach the nomination standard, so the Olympic qualifiers are:

Men's 400m Freestyle - James Guy

Men's 100m Breaststroke- Adam Peaty

Women's 400m IM- Hannah Miley

 

We have a wildcard system where more athletes can be added, I expect Aimee Willmott and Ross Murdoch will be added to the Olympic team later

The time was made in the semi-final. Also Chad le Clos and Christopher Reid reached the standard again in the final of the 200 free and 100 back respectively.

Men's 50m Freestyle - Cameron McEvoy

Women's 800m Freestyle - Jessica Ashwood

Women's 200m Backstroke - Belinda Hocking, Emily Seebohm

 

Nobody qualified in the men's 100m butterfly

McEvoy was just 2/100 of a second slower than Florent Manaudou at the Frnch Nationals (21.44 vs 21.42) and takes the second fastest time of the year...

meanwhile Cate Campbell swam 23.93 in the semis of the women's 50m free, new Commonwealth Record, fastest time of the year and only 20/100 of a second outside the supposed untouchable record set by Britta Steffen in Rome in 2009 (with the rubber/rubbish suits)...

Men's 400m Freestyle - Anton Ørskov Ipsen (3:48.39) and Mads Glæsner (3:48.42)

Alright. Do you know how to compute the 2% standard from the Olympic consideration times set by the British Swimming?

I don't quite understand the question!?!

Never mine. I already got the solution to the answers of the consideration times in each pool event.

No Brits reached the Olympic Nomination Time today, but these athletes are likely to be selected anyway (British swimming normally has very high standards, and then accepts everyone anyway!)

 

Women's 100m Backstroke - Georgia Davies (only 0.5 seconds off), Lizzie Simmonds (1 second off)

Men's 200m Butterfly - winner was 3.5 seconds off the time needed, unlikely that anyone will be selected

Women's 200m Breastroke - Chloe Tutton smashed the British record by 1.5 seconds and Molly Renshaw also broke the British record and finished second

Men's 100m Backstroke - Chris Walker-Hebborn was 0.7 seconds outside the qualfication time, Tancock finished second
