The swimming competitions at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro took place from 6 to 13 August at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium.[1]
Events
Similar to the program's format in 2012, swimming features a total of 32 events (16 each for men and women). The following events were contested (all pool events are long course, and distances are in metres unless stated):
- Freestyle: 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 (women), and 1500 (men);
- Backstroke: 100 and 200;
- Breaststroke: 100 and 200;
- Butterfly: 100 and 200;
- Individual medley: 200 and 400;
- Relays: 4 × 100 free, 4 × 200 free; 4 × 100 medley
Schedule
Similar to previous Olympics since 2000, with the exception of 2008, the swimming program schedule occurred in two segments. The prelims are held in the afternoon, followed by the semifinals and final in the evening and the night session (due to the substantial fees NBC has paid for rights to the Olympics, the IOC has allowed NBC to have influence on event scheduling to maximize U.S. television ratings when possible; NBC agreed to a $7.75 billion contract extension on May 7, 2014, to air the Olympics through the 2032 games[2] and is also one of the major sources of revenue for the IOC).[3][4] The dates in the table are for August.

Qualification
FINA By-Law BL 9.3.6.4 laid out the qualification procedures for the "Swimming" competition at the Olympics.[6] Each country is allowed to enter up to two swimmers per individual event (provided they qualify), and one entry per relay; and a country may not have more than 26 males and 26 females (52 total) on its team.
Individual events
On January 15, 2015, FINA posted the qualifying times for individual events for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[7] The time standards consisted of two types: an "Olympic Qualifying Time" (OQT) and an "Olympic Selection time" (OST). Each country was able to enter up to two swimmers per event, provided both swimmers met the (faster) qualifying time. A country was able to enter one swimmer per event that met the invitation standard. Any swimmer who met the "qualifying" time was entered in the event for the Games; a swimmer meeting the "invitation" standard was eligible for entry, and their entry was allotted/filled in by ranking.[7][8]
If a country had had no swimmers who meet either qualifying standard, it may have entered one male and one female. A country that did not receive an allocation spot but had at least one swimmer who met a qualifying standard might have enter the swimmer with the highest ranking.[8]
Relay events
Each relay event features 16 teams, composed of:
- 12: the top-12 finishers at the 2015 World Championships in each relay event.[8]
- 4: the 4 fastest non-qualified teams, based on times in the 15-months preceding the Olympics.[8]
Participation
Participating nations
A total of 906 swimmers (489 men and 417 women) competed in the 32 events (26 individual, plus six relays) contested at the Aquatics Stadium in Rio. Brazil, as the host country, receives guaranteed quota place in case it would not qualify any qualification places.
