Greece is making a strong showing at the Mediterranean Games, with nine swimmers advancing to the finals in the pool.

The morning session saw significant Greek participation. Apostolos Papastamos and Iasonas Routoulas qualified for the men's 200m individual medley, finishing fifth and seventh respectively. Greece will also have a double presence in the women's 100m backstroke, with Anna Ntountounaki and Eleni Antoniadou reaching the final.

Ntountounaki also secured a spot in the 50m freestyle final. Georgia Damasioti and Apostolos Siskos qualified for the 200m butterfly finals. In the men's 100m backstroke, Apostolos Christou and Evangelos Makrygiannis advanced.

However, not all Greek athletes progressed. Andreas Vazaios did not make the 50m freestyle final, and Dimitris Markos and Vasilis Kakoulakis withdrew from the 1500m freestyle. Nicole Pavlopoulou will compete in the 200m individual medley final without needing to go through preliminaries.
