The Telkom SA National Aquatic Championships is a yearly open competition event in South Africa which incorporates all aquatic disciplines under the auspices of Swimming South Africa: swimming, water polo, diving, synchronized swimming and open water swimming. The events are held in major cities across South Africa in April and provide the basis for selection for teams to represent South Africa and compete at the FINA World Championships, All Africa Games, Commonwealth Games and the Olympic Games. Each sport has its own championships, for example the 2022 SA National Swimming Championships, which combined are a given year's Telkom SA National Aquatic Championships.
