The Swimming events at the 2015 European Games are scheduled to take place at the Baku Aquatics Centre, Baku from 23–27 June 2015. 42 events will be contested in long course conditions.

Swimming was not included in the earliest list of sports confirmed for the 2015 Games, as the European swimming authorities at that stage were minded not to take part. However, following negotiations with the organising authorities, a compromise was reached whereby, in 2015, these events will be for junior swimmers only - in effect, under 18 for men, under 16 for women.

Programme

A number of non-Olympic distances will be raced, in addition to a full Olympic programme. The 50 metre sprint in backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly will be held for both genders, the 800 metre freestyle for men, the 1500 metre freestyle for women and mixed gender 4 x 100 metre relays, both freestyle and medley.
