The 2026 Commonwealth Games swimming competition took place in Glasgow, Scotland from 24-29 July, featuring a record 56 events (including 14 parasport events) at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre. Australia dominated the meet, winning a record 37 gold medals and 76 total medals, sweeping all eight relays and every able-bodied freestyle event. Chad le Clos of South Africa became the most decorated athlete in Commonwealth Games history, while Australia's Meg Harris won six golds and teammates Sam Short and Lani Pallister achieved distance trebles in the 400, 800, and 1500m freestyle. Other highlights included Filip Nowacki winning Jersey's first swimming gold, Angharad Evans' breaststroke double for Wales, and Lewis Clarebert's double for New Zealand, while England had a poor meet, failing to win an able-bodied gold for the first time since 1954, though they secured four para-swimming golds. Qualification differed between able-bodied (quota caps) and para-swimming (rankings-based), and the venue had previously hosted the 2014 Games.
