How do I qualify for the 2021 Swimming Olympics?

The two best swimmers in each discipline will most likely get places on the Olympic team. With the 100 free as well as the 200 free places, the six winners will get places to swim in the Olympic relay units.

However, each of the top two finishers must reach Olympic qualifying time during the events to make it onto the team. If there is only one qualifier, another swimmer can still qualify for the team if they swim the required time in a FINA approved time trial or swimming competition before June 27th.

This is already being put to the test, because in the men’s 400 freestyle only Kieran Smith swam in wave 2 under the Olympic qualifying time of 3: 46.78. According to a report by NBC Sports, Zane Groth is the only American swimmer to have had a time below this threshold since 2019 and he could get himself 11th despite Jake Mitchell, second in the event, got a time of 3: 48.17 and could get himself still pushing for second place.

On Tuesday, June 15, Mitchell swam 3: 45.86 in a time trial and secured second place on the Olympic team.
