A contradiction regarding how the host country quota gets reallocated is my interpretation.
 
Paragraph D1.2 of the qualification document mentions that an unused host country quota ends up to the next highest placed athlete from 2024 World Championships. This would mean Brazil, as their athlete finished 14th.
 
However, paragraph F2 states that an unused host country place is reallocated to the next highest placed NOC from 2024 World Championships, provided that the NOC is not yet qualified. If this is applied after handing out continental quotas, Peru is first on the line. 
 
Peru's federation first reported that they got a quota on 13 March, much earlier than world aquatics.

Yes, that's a mistery
 
I have asked World Aquatics on X

So I guess someone in the women's event rejected a quota that went to  María Bramont-Arias, who was 25th in the qualifier and the next in line ¿¿????

Nationals
 
men's 200m Fly
 
1.Kristòf Milàk, 1.54.90
2.Richàrd Màrton, 1.56.32

1.Boglàrka Kapàs, 2.08.15
 
men's 50m Freestyle
 
1.Kristòf Milàk, 21.89
2.Nàndor Nèmeth, 22.19
 
 
quite disappointed by Milàk's swim over 200m Fly...after this morning, I expected him to be at least 1.5 sec faster Tonight

2:19.01 in the final!

200m Fly: Milàk, 1.55.43 in the morning heats
 
I guess he's gonna swim at least 1.53 in the afternoon, which would mean that he's gonna enter the Olympics as the usual favourite
 
p.s. he also swam 22.29 in the 50m Free heats

2:19.92 for  Tatjana Smith (was Schoenmaker) in the women’s 200m breaststroke prelims at the South African Olympic Trials!

Milák is back with a 48.38 in 100 free.
 
He still got his speed, but it remains to be seen what happens in the fly events. 

my picks...
 
all the 23 swimmers with Priority 1, 2, 3 and 5
 
then, Anderson, Bird, Cox, Evans, McMillan, Wilby and Whittle
 
and yes, I think they will fill all the 30 spots...actually they might even go up to 31 and take also Hanlon
 
they need all those backups for the relays

Just going to post a full summary here to make it easier to analyze.
