Perspective
As per the governing body World Athletics (WA), a NOC was allowed to enter up to three qualified athletes in each individual event and one qualified relay team if the Olympic Qualifying Standards (OQS) had been met during the qualifying period at the events approved by WA. The remaining places are allocated based on the World Athletics Rankings which were derived from the average of the best five results for an athlete over the designated qualifying period, weighted by the importance of the meet. The qualification window for race events on the program was from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.[9][10] Brunei qualified one sprinter to compete at the 2024 Summer Olympics.[11]
Muhd Noor Firdaus Ar-Rasyid participated in the men's 100 m event. Though he achieved a season's best time of 10.86 seconds in the preliminary heats, he failed to advance to main qualifying heats.[12]

Perspective
As per the World Aquatics guidelines, a NOC was permitted to enter a maximum of two qualified athletes in each individual event, who have achieved the Olympic Qualifying Time. One athlete per event will be allowed to enter if they meet the Olympic Selection Time if the quota is not filled. NOCs were allowed to enter swimmers (one per gender) under a universality place even if no one achieved the standard entry times.[13] Brunei was awarded two universality quota places in swimming.[14]
The swimming events were held at the Paris La Défense Arena.[15] In the men's 100 m backstroke event, Zeke Chan finished 45th out of the 46 competitors with a time of over one minute and failed to qualify for the next round.[16][17] In the women's 50 m freestyle event, Hayley Wong endured a similar fate after she finished in 50th place amongst the 78 competitors.[18]
Qualifiers for the latter rounds (Q) of all events were decided on a time only basis, therefore positions shown are overall results versus competitors in all heats.
