Leading up to the 2021 South Africa National Swimming Championships, Smith set a new South African record in the 100-metre breaststroke with a time of 1:05.89 at a South African Time Trials competition in Stellenbosch in February.[10][11] On day one of the 2021 South Africa National Swimming Championships, 7 April in Gqeberha, she won the national title in the 50-metre breaststroke with a South African record time of 30.32, which was 0.10 seconds faster than the South African record time of 30.42 she set in the preliminaries and 0.10 seconds faster than the record prior to that, which she set in December 2020.[12] On the third day of competition, she won the 200-metre breaststroke national title with a South African record time of 2:20.17.[13] The fourth and final day, she won a third national title in an individual breaststroke event, this time finishing first in the final of the 100-metre breaststroke with a South African record time of 1:05.74, which was 1.66 seconds faster than silver medalist Lara van Niekerk.[14] Her times in the 100-metre and 200-metre breaststroke, qualified her to represent South Africa at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[15]
