qualification

Qualification criteria

Eight quota places were guaranteed to the host NOK . Each nation was allowed to have a maximum of two athletes in the individual competitions and one pair in the synchronous competitions. A total of up to 34 single starters or eight synchronous pairs were allowed per competition. The following qualification criteria applied to both women and men.

Quota places for the respective NOK were achieved in each of the four individual disciplines by the twelve finalists of the swimming world championships from July 16 to 31, 2011 in Shanghai , the five winners of the continental championships and up to 18 semi-finalists of the world cup from February 20 to 25, 2012 in London . Any free quota places, the number of which depended on the extent to which the athletes qualified by the World Championships, the Continental Championships and the World Cup overlapped, were allocated in a "dive-off" following the World Cup on February 26, 2012. First of all, the first four athletes of the dive-off won a quota place in each competition. The number increased later, as quota places remained free due to athletes who were nominated in synchronized competitions and in singles. One pair from the host, the medal winners of the 2011 World Championships in Shanghai and the four best as yet unqualified pairs at the 2012 World Cup in London were qualified for the synchronized competitions.

List of qualifying competitions (in chronological order):

• European Championships in Turin , March 8-13, 2011 
• World Swimming Championships in Shanghai , July 16 to 31, 2011 
• Asia Pacific Rim Junior Diving International in Wellington , August 19-21, 2011 
• Asian Diving Cup in Kuala Lumpur , September 25-27, 2011 
• Pan American Games in Guadalajara , October 26-29, 2011
