Only one person from a neutral country is allowed to participate in each event.

The path has been opened for swimmers from Russia, which started the war against Ukraine, and Belarus, which sympathized with it, to compete in next year's Paris Olympics.
On the 5th (Korean time), the International Swimming Federation confirmed and announced the standards for Russian and Belarusian athletes and coaches to participate in the Paris Olympics.
The federation added that it plans to discipline players who display discriminatory behavior toward Russian and Belarusian players.
“We have a responsibility to create a competitive and fair environment that is inclusive of all athletes,” said International Aquatics Federation President Hussein Al Musallam.
Russian and Belarusian national anthems and flags are not permitted, and players and staff who must compete for neutral countries must wear white uniforms and equipment.
They can only send one athlete per event for both swimming and diving.
Accordingly, Russia and Belarus cannot participate in events that require at least two people, such as relay relay, artistic swimming, synchronized diving, and water polo.
In addition, we strictly review whether protests or social media posts supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February of last year were posted.
Media interviews with Russian and Belarusian athletes are prohibited.
Accordingly, these players are not allowed to enter the press conference room and common reporting area (mixed zone).
For Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in the Paris Olympics in July next year, the priority is to obtain qualifications.
Qualification for the Olympic Games is at stake in three World Cup competitions to be held this year in Berlin, Germany, Athens, Greece, and Budapest, Hungary, and the World Swimming Championships in Doha, Qatar, in February next year.
In response, the Associated Press said, "The International Swimming Federation is the latest Olympic sports body to respond to the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) directive to find a way for Russian and Belarusian athletes to return to competition."
He also predicted, “Unlike the International Aquatics Federation, the World Association of Athletics Federations maintains a strong stance prohibiting Russian athletes from participating in international competitions, so it will be difficult for them to participate in the Paris Olympics.”
