The 2021 Australian Swimming Trials is an ongoing event that is being held from 12 to 17 June 2021 at the South Australia Aquatic and Leisure Centre to determine Australia's swimming team to the 2020 Summer Olympics and 2020 Paralympics.

Olympic Qualification criteria

This section is an excerpt from Swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification § Qualifying standards.[edit]

A National Olympic Committee (NOC) may enter a maximum of two qualified athletes in each individual event, but only if both athletes have attained the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT). One athlete per event can potentially enter if they meet the Olympic Selection Time (OST) or if the quota of 878 athletes has not been targeted. NOCs may also permit swimmers regardless of time (one per gender) under a Universality place, since they have no swimmers reaching either of the standard entry times (OQT/OST).

In the relay events, a maximum of 16 qualifying teams in each relay event must be permitted to accumulate a total of 112 relay teams; each NOC may enter only one team. The first twelve teams in each relay event at the 2019 World Championships will automatically compete for the relay events at the Olympics; while the remaining four per relay event must obtain their fastest entry times based on the FINA World Rankings during the process.

Because of the exceptional circumstances related to COVID-19 crisis, the consequent Olympic delay, and the unprecedented two-year gap between the Worlds and the new date of the Games, FINA revised the universality rule that allowed a nation to enter the highest-ranked male and female swimmer, respectively, based upon the Points Table (2021 edition). Swimmers from NOCs, having achieved the OST allocated to the universality place, may be entered to a maximum of two individual events, whereas those without the OQT and OST were limited to enter in one individual event only.

Following the end of the qualification period, FINA will assess the number of athletes having achieved the OQT, the number of relay-only swimmers, and the number of Universality places, before inviting athletes with OST to fulfill the total quota of 878. Additionally, OST places will be distributed by event according to the position of the FINA World Rankings during the qualifying deadline.

The qualifying time standards must be obtained in World Championships, Continental Championships, Continental Qualification Events, National Championships and Trials, or International Competitions approved by FINA in the period between 1 March 2019 to 27 June 2021.

The initial FINA qualifying standards, still to be ratified, are as follows:

Paralympic Qualification criteria

Further information: Para-swimming classification

Qualification requirements to be included in the Paralympic team is decided upon different classifications based on the degree of impairment an athlete experiences relative to an able-bodied swimmer's speed and performance. The three impairment groups at the Paralympic Games for swimming are physical, vision and intellectual. In addition, strokes and events are classified under "sport classes" that have a prefix letter and number. At the 2021 trials, qualification is selected based on a points system rather than time. Swimmers earn points based on how close they are to the world record in their respective qualification. This system is called the Multi-Class Point Score.

Event key

There are three swimming sport class prefixes for swimming strokes:

• S is for freestyle, butterfly and backstroke events.
• SB is for breaststroke
• SM is for individual medley events.

As well as swimming strokes, they are also divided into ten different categories:

• S1/SB1: swimmers who may have tetraplegia or some form of loss of muscular power in their legs, arms and hands. These swimmers would regularly use a wheelchair.
• S2/SB1: swimmers who may have limited function in their hands, trunk and legs and mainly rely on their arms to swim.
• S3/SB2: swimmers who have leg or arm amputations, have severe coordination problems in their limbs or have to swim with their arms but don't use their trunk or legs.
• S4/SB3: swimmers who have function in their hands and arms but can't use their trunk or legs to swim or they have three amputated limbs.
• S5/SB4: swimmers who have hemiplegia, paraplegia or short stature.
• S6/SB5: swimmers who have short stature or arm amputations or some form of coordination problem on one side of their body.
• S7/SB6: swimmers who have one leg and one arm amputation on opposite side or paralysis on one side of their body. These swimmers have full control of their arms and trunk but variable function in their legs.
• S8/SB7: swimmers who have a single amputation or restrictive movement in their hip, knee and ankle joints.
• S9/SB8: swimmers who have joint restrictions in one leg or double below-the-knee amputations.
• S10/SB9: swimmers who have minor physical impairments, for example, loss of one hand.
• S11/SB11: swimmers who have severe visual impairments and have very low or no light perception, such as blindness, they are required to wear blackened goggles to compete. They use tappers when competing in swimming events.
• S12/SB12: swimmers who have moderate visual impairment and have a visual field of less than 5 degrees radius. They are required to wear blackened goggles to compete. They may wish to use a tapper.
• S13/SB13: swimmers who have minor visual impairment and have high visual acuity. They are required to wear blackened goggles to compete. They may wish to use a tapper.
• S14/SB14: swimmers who have intellectual impairment.
