Some of these overage entries had also qualified with A standards, which are considered to be automatic qualifying standards.<\/p>\n<p>After analyzing the situation, meet organizers in consultation with FINA&#39;s Dr. Julio Maglione, decided to increase the cap to include those swimmers that automatically qualified, but were considered an overage against the initial cap of 256 swimmers.  That increase brought an additional 14 swimmers into the field. Additionally, eight more relay-only swimmers were added to the field, bringing the total tally of qualifiers to 278.<\/p>\n<p>However, <a href=http:\/\/sportv.globo.com\/platb\/blogdocoach\/2011\/09\/28\/176-nadadores-cortados-dos-jogos-pan-americanos\/ target=_blank>earlier reporting<\/a> by <i>Swimming World<\/i> South American correspondent Alex Pussieldi stated that 176 swimmers, with an initial overall tally of 432, were enrolled in the Pan American Games field.
