Two notes, related to the organization of the meet:
 * 1) 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).
 * 2) 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.

''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.
