South African Olympic champion Tatjana Smith will make her competitive comeback next week, two years after announcing her retirement.
Smith will compete at the South African Short Course Championships in Pietermaritzburg from 24 to 27 September.
According to Swimming South Africa the championship is at the G.C. Jolliffe pool.
Smith is entered in the 50 m, 100 m and 200 m breaststroke and will also compete in relay events.
She retired from competitive swimming after the Paris Olympic Games in 2024, where she won gold in the 100 m breaststroke and silver in the 200 m breaststroke.
Dean Price, Swimming South Africa's head of high performance, welcomed Smith's return and said she can also bring significant value to South Africa's relay teams.
The 29-year-old Smith will compete for her new Stellenbosch-based team, Lane Leader.
