    Actually found this on a quick Google search: Besides individual country's possible Olympic Trials qualifying standards, there are A and B level minimum Olympic Swimming Qualifying standards for swimmers to take part in the Olympic Games. To quote the FINA Olympic qualifying procedures: An NF/NOC (National Federation - a country) may enter a maximum of two (2) qualified athletes in each individual event if both entered athletes meet the A qualification standard for the respective event, or one (1) athlete per event if they have met the B qualification standard only. (FINA Rule BL 8.3.6.1) If a country's swimmers do not make a minimum Olympic qualifying time, they might be allowed a wild card entry: National Federations/NOCs may enter swimmers regardless of time standard as follows: having no swimmer qualified: one man and one woman having one swimmer qualified: one swimmer of the other sex provided that: the swimmer(s) participated in the 12th FINA World Championships – Melbourne 2007 FINA will decide which swimmers will be invited to take part at the Olympic Games based on their performance. (FINA Rule BL 8.3.6.2)
