Swimming New Zealand is the national governing body of swimming, in New Zealand. Swimming New Zealand, then known as The New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association was founded on 4 January 1890. [1] [2]
Swimming New Zealand is a member of FINA [3] and has responsibility for elite performance, doping control and international relationships and events for the sports within New Zealand.
Swimming New Zealand is also a member of Water Safety New Zealand and has an active role in swim and survive education in New Zealand. [2] [4]
The New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association was founded on 4 January 1890 at the urging of the Auckland (Swimming) Club, [5] [6] and was based in Auckland. When the headquarters moved to Christchurch in 1896 the Auckland club withdrew from the Association and in 1898 formed a rival association, the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association Registered. [6] The two associations were reunited on 21 March 1904. [1]
The first national championship events were held in the year the Association was formed, with a different carnival for each event until 1905 when all events were held at a single venue. [5]
The first championship event for women was held in 1912. [5]
The NZASA became the New Zealand Swimming Federation in 1988 and changed to its present name in 1999. [6]
Swimming New Zealand announces a number of awards annually, most notably the New Zealand Swimmer of the Year Award. [7]
