GENERAL CRITERIA
- Athletes must be a registered USA Swimming member in good standing at the time of the Qualifying Competitions, as defined below, at the time of selection, and throughout their term on the National Team. An athlete may be suspended from the National Team if they do not remain in good standing, including membership requirements and adherence to the SafeSport Code for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Movement, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency Protocol, the World Anti-Doping Agency’s Code, and any USA Swimming, USOPC, World Aquatics, or IOC rules and regulations. If an athlete who has qualified for, but has subsequently been suspended from, the National Team is reinstated, or their suspension is reduced, by a court or body with competent jurisdiction such that the athlete becomes eligible during all or a portion of the term of the 2024-2025 National Team, their National Team suspension will be lifted, in accordance with the order from the court or body. If an athlete who was otherwise eligible for selection to the National Team but was not in good standing at the time of selection due to any type of suspension or ineligibility determination, and the suspension or ineligibility determination is later overturned or reduced by a court or body with competent jurisdiction during the term of the 2024-2025 National Team such that the athlete would have been eligible at the time of selection to the National Team, the athlete will be added to the team, in accordance with the order from the court or body. In any of the above scenarios where an athlete is added or reinstated to the National Team, no athlete will be removed as a result of that addition.
