The qualifying phase for swimming at the 2024 Summer Olympics occurred between 1 March 2023, and 23 June 2024. 852 athletes qualified for 35 swimming pool events at the Games, with 57 more qualifying for the 10-kilometre open water marathon swims.
Athletes qualified for the individual swimming pool events through achieving World Aquatics' specified time standards, or through universality places to ensure a wide range of nations were included. National teams qualified for the relay events through their performances at the 2023 or 2024 World Championships, as did the individual qualifiers for the marathon swimming events.

Qualification processes
Individual events
Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) was permitted to enter a maximum of two qualified athletes in each individual event, but only if both of them had attained the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT). After accepting the two athletes from each NOC who achieved the OQT, World Aquatics considered athletes who had only qualified in a relay event, and then athletes qualifying through universality: NOCs were given one event entry for each gender, which could be used by any athlete regardless of qualification time, providing the spaces had not already been taken by athletes from that nation who had achieved the OQT.[a] Finally, the rest of the spaces were filled by athletes who had met the Olympic Consideration Time (OCT).[1]
The event OQTs corresponded to the time achieved by the fourteenth-place swimmer in their preliminary heat at the previous Games, while the OCTs were derived by adding 0.5% onto the OQT.[2]
The qualifying time standards had to have been achieved at one of the international meets approved by World Aquatics between 1 March 2023, and 23 June 2024. These included the 2023 and 2024 World Championships, continental meets, national championships and selection trials, and some other competitions approved by World Aquatics.[2]

All athletes who qualified for individual events were allowed to be used by the relay teams in any event, regardless of what individual event they qualified for.[4]

- The three medalists in the 10 km races at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships
- The top thirteen swimmers in the 10 km races at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships
- One representative from each World Aquatics continent (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania)[c]
- One representative from the host nation (France) if not qualified by other means[d]
In addition to the athletes invited to fulfil the quota, any athletes who achieved the Olympic Qualification Time in either the 800 or 1500 metres freestyle were invited to compete.[7]

Notes
- ^ NOCs were subject to some other restrictions on who they could pick to fill their universality places.
- ^ a b c d e f g h Because the fourteenth-place swimmer achieved a standard slower than the OQT in Tokyo 2020, Tokyo's OQT was used instead.
- ^ If a continental place was not used, the slot was reallocated to the fastest unqualified swimmer at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships.
- ^ If a French swimmer already qualified, their slot was reallocated to the fastest unqualified swimmer at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships.
- ^ a b Unused continental quota place
- ^ a b c Unused host quota place
