All pool events were swum in a 6-lane, short-course (25m) pool; the open water events were 5-kilometres in length (5K).
Two notes, related to the organization of the meet:
- Swimmers who were to compete at the 2005 World Championships, were not allowed to swim in the Mini Games (although the competitions were at the same time).
- Full medals were only given out in events with five or more entrants. If an event had four entrants, only the gold and silver medals were award; if an event had only two or three entrants, only the gold medal. Events with fewer than three medals awarded are noted under the event name.
Event schedule
Note: This is the same event order as the 2003 South Pacific Games and 2007 South Pacific Games. However, the pool competition is 1 day shorter, which is accomplished by having eight events per day on the first four pool days, rather than six.
Participating countries
57 swimmers from 8 countries were entered in the swimming events at the 2005 Mini Games. Countries with swimmers present were:
