Qualification edit
Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter a maximum of eight athletes, four per each gender and two per each event. As hosts, China is given the maximum quota and 112 places, 56 per each gender will be decided by the Tripartite Commission. The remaining 280 places, 140 per each gender qualified by achieving the Qualifying Standard Time ("A standard" allows two athletes in an event while the "B standard" allows one athlete in an event) and being among the top 140 eligible athletes in the FINA Points Table. Also only the 16 nations with the most FINA points after the 2013 World Aquatics Championships will be allowed to qualify the maximum quota. All other nations can only qualify four athletes, and two per each gender.[1]
To be eligible to participate at the Youth Olympics, athletes must have been born between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 1999.[1]
Qualifying Standard Times edit
Athletes have from 1 April 2013 to 8 June 2014 to achieve the qualification standards. A nation reaching the "A standard" may send up to two athletes in the event and nations reaching the "B standard" may only send one provided that the athlete is in the top 140 in the FINA Points Table.[1]
