Windsor, Canada December 7 - 11
Selection Policy
1] Swimmers may be considered for selection for the 2016 World Short-Course Championships in the
following ways:
A] Swimmers who represent Denmark in the 2016 Olympic Games will be offered
automatic selection to the team.
B] Swimmers who achieve the qualifying times at the 2015 European Short-Course
Championships will also be selected.
C] Swimmers who hit the short-course time standards in the West-East Regional Meets,
October 28-30 can also be selected.
2] The qualifying standards for the 2016 World Short-Course Championships are based upon the average
of the 12th best heat times in individual events at the two previous World Short-Course Championships
[2012 in Istanbul and 2014 in Doha]. For distance events the qualification yardstick will be the average
12th best overall position time from the last two Championships.
3] If there are more than two qualifiers in an event, swimmers will be selected according to their
ranking. All team places will be offered subject to availability.
4] Selected swimmers must demonstrate their current fitness in the two months prior to the
Championships. Normally they will be asked to race within 1% of the qualifying time for their selected
event.
[5] Relay teams will be selected at the discretion of the High Performance Manager and the National
Head Coach, but will only be considered if they have a realistic medal chance.
