FINA STRATEGIC PLAN 2018 – 2021 FINA Headquarters Chemin de Bellevue 24a/24b CH - 1005 Lausanne SWITZERLAND Tel: (+41-21) 310 47 10 Fax: (+41-21) 312 66 10 www.fina.org Message from the President 5 Vision 6 Mission 6 Pillars of Strategic Plan 7 Strategic Goals 9 3 ARTISTIC SWIMMING OPEN WATER SWIMMING SWIMMING WATER POLO HIGH DIVING 4 DIVING Message from the President The last four years have proved hugely successful for FINA. In May 2013, the International Olympic Committee promoted FINA to the top tier of Summer Olympic Sports. In June 2017, the International Olympic Committee reinforced this reward, confirming aquatics will have the highest number of medals (49) of any sport at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games. We have experienced 3 successful editions of the FINA World Championships – in Barcelona (2013), Kazan (2015) and Budapest (2017) – and our top-level annual events for each discipline have grown. Success at the top end of our sport has enabled FINA to invest at record levels in aquatic sports worldwide. In 2018, we have an excellent starting point to build on recent successes: to pursue our mission of increasing participation in aquatic sports and our vision to enable everyone in the world to swim. This Strategic Plan sets the framework as to how FINA will accomplish this. The FINA Strategic Plan 2018 – 2021 will be underpinned by 4 pillars: 1. Raising Standards 2. Accelerating Potential 3. Uniting Passions 4. Sustaining Growth Everything FINA does between 2018 and 2021 will be focused on strengthening one of these pillars. Our Strategic Plan lays out 10 goals FINA will work to deliver over the next 4 years. -

Nick Thierry Recipient of the 2013 R. Max Ritter Award Presented by United States Aquatic Sports
Nick Thierry Recipient of the 2013 R. Max Ritter Award Presented by United States Aquatic Sports Nick Thierry is the 2013 recipient of the R. Max Ritter Award presented posthumously and in recognition of his life-long affair with swimming. United States Aquatic Sports honors the memory of a man whose unselfish contributions including keeping the history book of swimming straight, simple and true for the benefit of athletes, coaches and also for national federations as well as the international body FINA. "Before his passing on October 2, 2012 Nick invested in the development of a database that contains 40 years of swimming rankings and statistics. That immense work is part of his legacy. When swimmers swim head to head in elite international competition, their foremost goal is to beat the opposition. Once the race is over and they glance up to the scoreboard to see their finish place, their next thought is, "My time, did I do a personal best? Was it a record?" Moments after swimmers hit the finish wall, Nick Thierry took over. Nick Thierry kept the record of the sport alive for more than four decades as the keeper of the world rankings. He was the bastion of swimming statistics and a pioneer in the art of swimming news. His guardianship of the record of athletes performances has been treasured by swimmers, coaches, sports scientists, journalists, sports institutions and swimming federations since he first started to register and chronicle all meets that produced performances worthy of a place in the top 300 across all events. Born in Hungary on December 2, 1938, Nick spent the first eight years of his life in Budapest. -

Year-end 2016 had a $133,000 net excess which, following some additional outstanding expenses, will probably end near a $92,000 gain. Financially, USAS is in a good financial position. Tom completed a review of Convention revenue and created a better reporting format for future years. Earlier conversations had been held discussing the distribution of USAS funds – when is enough enough?

A review will be completed after the World Championships and suggestions will be presented in September. Roughly $100K is needed to support the World Championships in any given year. -
USMS Liaison & Special Assignments Reports
USMS SPECIAL APPOINTMENTS & LIAISONS ANNUAL REPORTS AMATEUR SWIMMING UNION OF THE AMERICAS REPRESENTATIVE (ASUA) Jim Miller, MD Mel Goldstein This report is filed on behalf of Mel Goldstein and me who serve as the USAS representatives to Amateur Swimming Union of the Americas (ASUA). We both sit on the ASUA Masters Technical Committee. ASUA was late going forward with their plans for the 2nd Masters Pan American Championships. However, after receiving 5 different bids the Executive Committee of ASUA endorsed San Juan, Puerto Rico as the host and set the competition dates for August 31 through September 3. The Masters Technical Committee Meeting is to be conducted on August 30, which is the same as the warm-up day for the meet. ASUA rotates the presidency every 4 years to a different geographic location within the Americas and Caribbean nations. Thus, ASUA President Mr. Orban Mendoza’s term in office is coming to a close. His successor has yet to be officially announced, but we do know that the next president will come from Canada. Mr. Mendoza established the Masters Pan American Championships, as one of his legacies. Hopefully, this event will continue to expand and serve all athletes in our hemisphere as the participation expands along with the number of aquatic sports being offered. ASUA has a new President, Eldon Godfrey, from Canada. Mr. Mendoza's term was over and it was Canada's turn by the rotation system that ASUA uses. Mr. Mendoza's contributions to ASUA include the expansion of the competition schedule to include Open Water and Masters in the championship schedule. -
Pan American Games History
60 Years Ago In Swimming History Prepared by the International Swimming Hall of Fame for the UANA Congress at the XVI Pan American Games Origin of the First Pan American Games The 1st Pan American Games were held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 25 February-9 March 1951. The Pan American Games' origins were at the Games of the X Olympiad in Los Angeles, United States, where officials representing the National Olympic Committees of the Americas discussed the staging of an Olympic-style regional athletic competition for the athletes of the Americas. At the Pan American Sports Conference held in 1940, it was decided to hold the 1st Pan American Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1942 and a Pan American Sports Committee was formed to govern the Games. Avery Brundage, President of the USOC and Vice-President of the IOC, was elected as the first President. However, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought much of the Americas into World War II, thus forcing the cancellation of the 1942 games. A second conference was held in 1948 at the London Olympic Games. Avery Brundage was re-elected as the President of the PASC. It was decided that Buenos Aires would still host the 1st Pan American Games, this time in 1951. Argentine President Juan Peron and his co-leader, Madam Eva Peron (addressing the Opening Ceremonies, above) were the honorary Presidents and were given a special exhibition of synchronized swimming, while Mario Negri, FINA Bureau Vice President and UANA President presided over the aquatic events, which were held at the Institute of Technical Research, Ministry of Public Works. -

FINA Water Polo Guide 2017-2021 2
FINA Water Polo Guide 2017-2021 MESSAGE FROM THE FINA PRESIDENT Dear Friends, It is my great pleasure to present you the FINA Water Polo Guide 2017-2021, a valuable document for those who are involved in the promotion and the development of this historical and highly-athletic team sport. Water Polo was the first team sport to integrate the Olympic programme in 1950, and remain as of today a discipline in constant evolution. Some landmarks in water polo evolution can be mentioned: the inclusion of the women’s tournament in the Games, the launch of the yearly Men’s and Women’s Water Polo World League which gather the best squads of the planet, the creation of the FINA Water Polo Referees School and the FINA World Men’s Water Polo Development Trophy. More recently, the new format of the FINA World Men and Women’s Youth and Junior Championships was established, with this competition being contested by players of 18 years old and under in even years and 20 and under in odd years. FINA’s strategy is to enhance water polo’s image worldwide, develop the sport at the grassroots level, thus seducing more young players across the five continents. This game creates a thrilling and exciting show, generating the interest from the media, the sponsors and the fans of our team sport. I would like to take this opportunity to warmly thank our prestigious partners, our National Member Federations, for their continuous support to this discipline. The FINA Water Polo Guide is a key tool to help our players, coaches and referees in their activities.
