Selection to international Flag Event competitions is based on qualification. Qualifying times must be achieved at a Guam Aquatics or GNOC-sanctioned event, which includes Guam Championship and Pentathlon meets. Qualifying times for the Olympic Games must be achieved at an Olympic qualifying meet.

For competitions with limited athlete entries such as the World Aquatics Championships, athlete selection is determined by the pertinent Selection Policy and the Base Time Proximity Standard.

With the exception of World Aquatic events and the Olympic Games,* qualifying time standards for Flag Events such as the Micronesian Games, Pacific Games, Pacific Mini Games, Oceania Championships and others are guided by the 1991 order of the GNOC Executive Board that qualification to participate shall be minimally based on the times of the third (3rd) place finishers in the "A" finals for each event as achieved during the last edition of the relevant Games. With approval, Guam Aquatics may allow for minimum times achieved by the last place finisher in the "A" finals for each event, which typically is the 6th or 8th place depending on the competition.

For more information, see the FAQs.

*Qualifying time standards for World Aquatic events and the Olympic Games are established by World Aquatics.
