The events, which start on Saturday and include 35 disciplines in total, mark the introduction of the first ever mixed-gender swimming contest on the Olympic stage with the mixed 4x100m medley relay.
Tracey Holmes, a senior sports reporter and presenter with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation who is to cover her 12th Games in Tokyo, said it would be hard to predict performances of swimmers.
"We don't really know what the world rankings are like in so many sports because there hasn't been proper competition with everybody involved," she told Xinhua in an interview last week.
Spectators are another element that could affect athletes' performances, as this year's Games will go ahead with no spectators in attendance.
Therefore, Holmes said that some swimmers who rely on an atmosphere to get them going would be disappointed, whereas others who get nervous in front of a large crowd could feel more comfortable.
