The 2024 German Swimming Championships are nearly upon us with action kicking off tomorrow, Thursday, April 25th. The 4-day competition represents a last-chance opportunity for German swimmers to qualify for this summer’s Olympic Games, while slots for June’s European Championships and July’s European Junior Championships are also on the line.
According to the German Swimming Federation’s selection policy for Paris 2024, the following prioritization process for individual events will be in play:
- Priority #1 – Athletes who achieve a top 4 placement and the Olympic Qualification Time at the 2023 World Championships
- Priority #2 – Athletes who achieve a top 4 placement and the Olympic Qualification Time at the 2024 World Championships
- Priority #3 – Athletes who achieve an Olympic Qualification Time during the national qualification period (April 1-28)
Based on this criteria, the following swimmers have met the OQT in the respective events, with those in bold having already firmly qualified for Paris 2024 based on the 2023 or 2024 World Championships results.

Eagerly awaiting Martens’s 200 after this showing.
Martens..boooom
Lukas Martens just swam a fuckin 3:40,33… that WR is going down in Paris or at the Aussie trials
3:40,33
After going out in 52.3 at the 100 and 1.48.5 at the 200!! He must be capable of 1.44low right now, contender in both events. His 100 (48.8 last week) & 400 (3.40.3) combination is very similar to Thorpe.
Oh my god, Martens just dropped a 3:40.33

Matzerath is out (illness in the past)
I’m looking forward to these Championships. German swimming looks to be on the up after years in the doldrums.
