The Aquatics GB Swimming Championships are an annual event organised by Aquatics GB (the governing body of swimming in the United Kingdom).
The event is usually held in March or April each year in a long course (50 m) swimming pool, with the results usually acting as selection trials for upcoming international level competitions due to be held in the following summer season.[1]
Previously the event was known as the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) National Championships from 1946 until 2014[2] and then the British Swimming Championships from 2015 until 2023.[3] A list of past winners shows the winners of all disciplines.
