LAUSANNE, Switzerland, June 4. TODAY, FINA posted the qualifying times and procedures for the 2013 FINA World Championships to take place in Barcelona, Spain. The meet will take place July 28-August 4.<\/p>\n
The 2013 Worlds will again use an A\/B qualifying time system, where:
\n -the B standard is the qualifying time to enter 1 swimmer per event per nation; and
\n -the A standard is the qualifying time to enter 2 swimmers per event per nation.<\/p>\n
For nations with 2 or less swimmers per gender who meet qualifying times, a new bylaw is in place (FINA BL 9.3.6.2) which provides for the following:
\n -a nation with no swimmers with qualifying times may enter up-to 2 males and 2 females;*
\n -a nation with 1 or 2 swimmers with qualifying times may enter up-to a maximum of 4 swimmers, provided there are no more than 2 per gender;*
\n -a nation with only 3 swimmers with qualifying times may enter a fourth swimmer, provided that both genders are represented.*
\n*Note: The swimmers with qualifying times who are entered must have swum at their nation's National Championships, and will be allowed to enter up-to 2 events.<\/p>\n
