Qualifying and Consideration Times

Qualifying Times (QT): Athlete with a qualifying time for a given stroke/event is guaranteed a swim in that event.

Consideration Times (CT): These times allow athletes to enter but do not guarantee a swim. If we cannot accommodate everyone within a reasonable session length, we will reject the slowest entries, based on time, across the different events of that day. This will be done proportionally across events in both the open and junior categories.

All entry times must have been set at an accredited/licensed competition since 1st January 2025. These should be from meets recorded in the Aquatics GB or World Aquatics rankings, or from a meet sanctioned by a National Governing Body.

An exception exists for the Female 1500m Freestyle, where entries (with submitted times within the consideration time) will be accepted from athletes without an accredited/licensed time but who meet the consideration time for the 800m Freestyle.
