Three heats were held. The heat in which a swimmer competed did not formally matter for advancement, as the swimmers with the top sixteen times from the entire field qualified for the semifinals. Two semifinal heats of eight swimmers each were held. The swimmers with the eight fastest times again advanced to the finals; there, they all competed in a single final heat to earn final placements.

Nations with three or more swimmers meeting the standard could enter only three such swimmers in the final.

gollark: Any good terrorist could surely just bomb the large amount of people in the "security" queues.
gollark: They run you through a bunch of scanning and disallow any "dangerous" thing for no specified reason. It's like someone thought "hmm, how can we make people not want to do air travel?".
gollark: Oh, another wasteful government thing is airport "security".
gollark: Oh.
gollark: Wasps are basically bees, right?
