Fédération Internationale de Natation
The International Swimming Federation (FINA) was founded in 1908 not by an accident, but by intent. George W. Hearn, Secretary of M the Federation cites the creation of this international institution as the result of increased international contacts in sport, and especially to the TC of the Olympic Games.

At the FINA Congress that same year George W. Hearn, Secretary of mes FINA, stepped down and was elected as FINA's first honorary president.

The period of World War II ended in 1950, and sports contacts grew more and more.in 1958, FINA celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. This year the number of FINA members had reached 75 national federations. In 1992 FINA members were upgraded to 137 national federations....
