QUALIFICATION
The meet will act as a qualifier for all of the major international meets this summer, including the World Championships in Gwangju. In order to assure a spot on that team, a swimmer must place in the top-2 in an Olympic event and be under the FINA ‘A’ standard, or place top-4 in the 100 and 200 freestyle and be under the ‘B’ standard.
You can find full World Championship qualifying info here.

I’m sorry if this shows me to be uneducated, but what exactly is the 150 IM for the Para events?
No worries, asking questions with the desire to learn is perfectly appropriate!
Traditionally, the 150 IM has no butterfly. The IPC recognizes the event for classifications SM 4, SM3, SM2, and SM1.
Braden, I thought the 150 IM had no butterfly. For the lower functioning classes that can only do back/breast/free. Is this wrong?
Yes, sorry, that’s correct.
Here’s the Rio SM4 final for anyone who’s interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpfaGaJGjPg
Go Canada!!!! Oh right.
The comment was intended to be a joke in that almost all of the athletes are Canadian with almost no other competition. There was no intent to slight Canadians, who are doing great!
