Due to ongoing bans by LEN and World Aquatics on participation of Russians and Belarusians at their competitions, this 2023 edition of the Russian Championships was not a qualifying competition for Russians nor Belarusians for the LEN and World Aquatics competitions with qualifying time periods overlapping with the 2023 Championships.[4][5][6]
