Quotas

The qualification slots are allocated to the NPC not to the individual athlete. In Bipartite Commission Invitation method, the slot is allocated to the individual athlete not to the NPC. World Para Swimming (WPS) reserves the right to allocate slots to the use of certain sports classes particularly for swimmers with complex needs; the slot shall be used as allocated or the NPC must return the slot to WPS.[5]

  • An NPC can allocate a maximum of 34 male and 28 female qualification slots in a maximum of 62 qualification slots. Exceptions may be granted through the Bipartite Invitation Commission method.
  • An NPC can enter a maximum of three eligible swimmers per medal event.
  • NPCs can enter an athlete who has met at least one MQS (Minimum Qualification Standard) time in any medal event and have met the MET (Minimum Entry Time) to any medal event.
  • An NPC can only enter one relay event team as long as they meet the MQS for any of the events. All team members have to be qualified in at least one individual event to be selected in the relay team.
