Qualification

edit

The event featured a field of 25 swimmers:[2]

  • 10: the top-10 finishers in the 10 km races at the 2019 World Aquatics Championships (maximum of 2 per NOC)
  • 9: the top-9 finishers at the 2020 Olympic Marathon Swim Qualifier, open only to NOCs with no qualified swimmers (maximum of 1 per NOC)
  • 5: one representative from each FINA continent (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania), based on the finishes at the 2020 Olympic Qualifier
  • 1: from the host nation (Japan) if not already qualified. If Japan had qualified for the race by other means, this spot would have been allocated back into the general pool above (2020 Olympic Marathon Swim Qualifier).
