Entry details & important notes
Qualifying times
Entry times are long course. The conditions require rankings times achieved since 1 July 2025 and state that the locked electronic entry file converts short-course rankings times automatically.
The qualifying-time tables are on page 5 of the official meet pack.
Clarification needed: the table says times must be faster than or equal to the limits, while condition 6 says faster. Please confirm borderline entries with the organiser.

Points to confirm with the organiser
The PDF contains inconsistencies: Session 2 has a 2026 heading despite the overall 2027 meet dates; Session 5 repeats event number 505; and the distance-entry restriction is unclear. The footers also carry a 2025 version date.
Check with the organiser before relying on these details.
