British swimming champions – 800 metres freestyle winners

The British swimming champions over 800 metres freestyle, formerly the (Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) National Championships) are listed below.[1][2]

The event was originally contested over 880 yards and then switched to the metric conversion of 800 metres in 1971. Throughout much of the history of the event it was contested by women only because the men competed in the 1,500 metres freestyle.
