Sri Lanka will compete at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships in Shanghai, China. Sri Lanka has sent 3 athletes to these championships.[1]
For the first time ever qualification standards were put in place, which meant smaller countries such as Sri Lanka could only send wild cards (2 male and 1 female). The three swimmers were selected after selection trials at the Police Pool in Colombo in April 2011.[1]
