The Women’s 800m Freestyle will be offered as a Preliminaries and Finals event. All preliminary heats will take place during the Distance Freestyle Session on Day 3. The top eight (8) swimmers from the preliminary heats will advance to the Final during the Day 4 Finals Session.

• ** = The 800m Freestyle will alternate women (prelims) and men (timed finals) and begin at a predetermined time, so the second fastest seeded heat of the Men’s 800m Freestyle concludes 75-minutes before the Day 3 Finals Session is scheduled to begin. The top two heats in the Preliminary Session for Event 27 will be circle-seeded.
• ^ = Athletes entered in the competition may enter the 50m Butterfly, 50m Backstroke, and/or 50m Breaststroke provided they have achieved the 50 of stroke Qualifying Standard or have the corresponding 100 of stroke Qualifying Standard.
