There was a nominal total of 96 quota places available (in parasport events only) for swimming at the 2022 Commonwealth Games; 48 each for men and women.[1]
Rules
editEach Commonwealth Games Association (CGA) may qualify up to three places per event, which equates to a maximum quota of thirty-six. Seven places per event are determined by the World Para Swimming (WPS) World Rankings (for performances between 31 December 2020 and 18 April 2022), with the last spot reserved for a Bipartite Invitation; all those who qualify may also enter other events provided the three-per-CGA limit is respected.
