Medals

European

Performances by guest non-european swimmers are ignored for the purposes of the European championships results, and the top three Europeans in each event receive gold, silver and bronze medals. Italy topped the medal table in golds, with Ukraine earning the most total medals for the fifth time in a row. Ukraine dominated men's swimming with 15 golds, while Italy led women's swimming with 13 golds. Hosts Portugal finished 20th, with 3 medals, all of which were silver.

Open

Performances by non-European competitors are recognised in the open classification, which awards medals on the basis of the actual race results regardless of nationality. As competitors receive the higher medal of any earned in the two competition, for European competitors, the European Championships medal will always take precedence, so where e.g. a non-European athlete has finished second, the athlete in third receives a European silver in the podium ceremony, but not the open bronze, the athlete in fourth a European bronze, and the athlete in second an open or 'commemorative' silver .The following table, however, counts ONLY those medals notionally won in the open classification, even if a higher medal was awarded during the podium ceremony from European Championships position.
