British Swimming Championships (50 m) 2008

The British Swimming Championships (50 m) 2008 were held at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, Sheffield from 31 March to 6 April 2008. They also doubled as the trials for the Beijing Olympic Games.

To qualify for the Olympic team, swimmers had to achieve the FINA A standards in the heats, and finish in the first 2 in the respective final. Three swimmers (Liam Tancock, 100 m backstroke, David Davies 1500 m free, and Kirsty Balfour, 200 m breaststroke) pre-qualified due to their performances in the 2007 World Championships.
