The 2024 Australian Swimming Trials was a sports event that is being held from 10 to 15 June 2024 at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre to determine Australia's swimming team to the 2024 Summer Olympics and 2024 Paralympics.

Olympic Qualification criteria

[edit]

Australia can select a maximum of 52 swimmers (26 of each sex, with up to 12 for relay only swimmers) for the Olympic team. To qualify, a swimmer must reach the allotted Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT) and finish in the top 2 positions in the "A" final. Following the end of the qualification period, FINA will assess the number of athletes having achieved the OQT, the number of relay-only swimmers, and the number of Universality places, before inviting athletes with OST to fulfil the total quota of 852. Additionally, OST places will be distributed by event according to the position of the FINA World Rankings during the qualifying deadline.[1]

Paralympic Qualification criteria

[edit]

Qualification requirements to be included in the Paralympic team is decided upon different classifications based on the degree of impairment an athlete experiences relative to an able-bodied swimmer's speed and performance. The three impairment groups at the Paralympic Games for swimming are physical, vision and intellectual.[3] In addition, strokes and events are classified under "sport classes" that have a prefix letter and number. At the 2024 trials, qualification is selected based on a points system rather than time. Swimmers earn points based on how close they are to the world record in their respective qualification. This system is called the Multi-Class Point Score.

Event key

[edit]

There are three swimming sport class prefixes for swimming strokes:

As well as swimming strokes, they are also divided into ten different categories:[4]

  • S1/SB1: swimmers who may have tetraplegia or some form of loss of muscular power in their legs, arms and hands. These swimmers would regularly use a wheelchair.
  • S2/SB1: swimmers who may have limited function in their hands, trunk and legs and mainly rely on their arms to swim.
  • S3/SB2: swimmers who have leg or arm amputations, have severe coordination problems in their limbs or have to swim with their arms but don't use their trunk or legs.
  • S4/SB3: swimmers who have a function in their hands and arms but can't use their trunk or legs to swim or they have three amputated limbs.
  • S5/SB4: swimmers who have hemiplegia, paraplegia or short stature.
  • S6/SB5: swimmers who have short stature or arm amputations or some form of coordination problem on one side of their body.
  • S7/SB6: swimmers who have one leg and one arm amputation on the opposite side or paralysis on one side of their body. These swimmers have full control of their arms and trunk but variable function in their legs.
  • S8/SB7: swimmers who have a single amputation or restrictive movement in their hip, knee and ankle joints.
  • S9/SB8: swimmers who have joint restrictions in one leg or double below-the-knee amputations.
  • S10/SB9: swimmers who have minor physical impairments, for example, loss of one hand.
  • S11/SB11: swimmers who have severe visual impairments and have very low or no light perception, such as blindness, they are required to wear blackened goggles to compete. They use tappers when competing in swimming events.
  • S12/SB12: swimmers who have a moderate visual impairment and have a visual field of fewer than 5 degrees radius. They are required to wear blackened goggles to compete. They may wish to use a tapper.
  • S13/SB13: swimmers who have a minor visual impairment and have high visual acuity. They are required to wear blackened goggles to compete. They may wish to use a tapper.
  • S14/SB14: swimmers who have intellectual impairment.
