Sailing

Spanish sailors have qualified one boat in each of the following classes through the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships, the individual fleet Worlds, and European qualifying regattas. [44]

In December 2015, the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation had announced the first four sailors to compete at the Rio regatta: four-time Olympian Iván Pastor, 2012 Olympic champions Marina Alabau in women's RS:X and Támara Echegoyen in the inaugural 49erFX, along with her partner and former 470 crew Berta Betanzos. [45] Laser sailor Joaquín Blanco, along with the 470 and Nacra 17 crews, had claimed their Olympic spots at the ISAF World Cup meet in Hyères, France, while skiff duo Diego Botín and Iago López rounded out the Spanish roster at the Delta Lloyd Regatta on 27 May 2016, following a selection controversy. [46] [47]

Laser Radial sailor and London 2012 Olympian Alicia Cebrián was the last Spaniard to join the sailing crew for the Games at the Kiel Week Regatta in Germany on 24 June 2016. [48]

Swimming

Spanish swimmers have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following events (up to a maximum of 2 swimmers in each event at the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT), and potentially 1 at the Olympic Selection Time (OST)): [51] [52] To assure their selection to the Olympic team, swimmers must attain a top-two finish in the final (or in heat-declared winner races on time for long-distance freestyle) inside the federation's target standards at the Spanish Open in Sabadell (19 to 22 March) and the 2016 European Championships in London (16 to 22 May).
