All times are in minutes and seconds.

The first round was held on August 19, at 11:14. As only two members of each nation can enter Final A, Michael Phelps, despite finishing with the fourth fastest time, was the third fastest American, therefore could not compete in Final A. He did not participate in Final B either.

The B final was held on August 19, at 19:18.

The A final was held on August 19, at 19:18.
