Dilman failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed fifty-second overall out of fifty-eight swimmers in the prelims.<ref>{{cite web|title=Swimming: Men's 200m Freestyle Heat 3|url=http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/swimming/resultsandschedules/rsc=SWM012900/index.html|work=[[Beijing 2008]]|publisher=[[NBC Olympics]]|accessdate=31 December 2012}}</ref>
