How entry works
- A time: a federation can enter two swimmers in an event if both have it.
- B time: it can enter one. B is the A time plus 3.5%, in every event.
- When it counts: swum between 2 marzo 2026 and 20 giugno 2027, in a 50 m pool.
- Your federation picks the team, usually at a national trials meet. An A time doesn't guarantee a place.
- Limits: at most two swimmers per event, one team per relay, and 26 men and 26 women per federation.
- Universality places let a federation with no qualified swimmer send one.
- Relays have no A or B time. Places come from team selection and rankings.
- Olympic times were not published when we last checked (luglio 2026). We don't print estimates.
These sit at the very top of the same scale your swimmer is on. Points show where a swim sits on it, without the cliff edge.
Domande
Domande frequenti
Qual è la differenza tra un tempo di qualificazione A e uno B?
A is the faster one. A federation can enter two swimmers who both have the A time, or one with the B time. B is A plus 3.5%.
Come ti qualifichi ai Campionati Mondiali di nuoto?
Swim an A or B time inside the qualifying window, then get picked by your national federation. The time makes a swimmer eligible. The federation decides who goes.
Ci sono tempi di qualificazione olimpica per i prossimi Giochi?
Not yet published. They usually come out before the qualifying window opens, with the same A and B shape.
Perché non ci sono standard per le staffette?
Relay places come from team selection and world rankings, not an individual time. The document lists the relays with no time.

Cosa sapere su questa trascrizione
- WJC_2025_ENTRY, EA_SENIOR_LCM_ENTRY and EA_JUNIOR_2026_ENTRY are standardSets with ZERO cells by design -- both World Aquatics (Junior Worlds) and European Aquatics (senior + junior Europeans) select teams by Member Federation quota and ranking-based lane seeding, NOT a universal published qualifying time. This was verified directly in each federation's own regulations document (see sourceIds), not inferred.
- The 2027 edition of the WA points base times has not been published as of retrieval (2026-07-26); the current 2026 (LCM) / 2025-26 season (SCM) editions were extracted as the most recent applicable set, per contract guidance.
- cellCount (158) excludes the zero-cell standardSets and is computed programmatically (not hand-counted) by walking the 'standards' tree: LCM male/female = 20 base (17 individual + 3 relay) + 17 'A' + 17 'B' = 54 each = 108; LCM mixed = 2 (relay base only); SCM male/female = 23 base (18 individual + 5 relay) each = 46; SCM mixed = 2 (relay base only). 108 + 2 + 46 + 2 = 158.
- The Budapest 2027 qualification PDF was retrieved via a national-federation mirror because the canonical worldaquatics.com qualifications page is a client-rendered SPA that does not expose a direct file link to automated fetching; see src_worlds_budapest2027_qual notes for full chain of custody.
- LCM has no individual 100m Medley event (not part of the senior LCM program) and SCM has no 4x50/4x100/4x200 relay B/A worlds qualifying values (Worlds A/B only exists for LCM, not modeled for SCM at all since Budapest 2027 is an LCM meet) -- documented gaps, not missing data.
- European Aquatics U23 Championships and Short Course (SCM) Championships regulations were also pulled and read (same 'no universal standard' finding) but were out of the brief's explicit scope (European Championships + European Junior Championships) and are not modeled as standardSets here; flagged in the report as a possible future extension.
