style="background: #f6F5CE" |- denotes top performance for athletes in the top 25 100 m butterfly times

- denotes lesser performances, still in the top 25 100 m butterfly times, by repeat athletes

style="background: #CCFFCC" |- denotes top performance (only) for other top 25 athletes who fall outside the top 25 100 m butterfly times
