Apostolos Christou finished with a performance of 23.10 in the 50m backstroke race.

Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev was eliminated from the final of the 50m freestyle. In order to qualify, he needed a time below 21.00. He finished with 21.08, in fifth place in his semi-final race and 10th overall.
