  • FINA National Member Federations Administration Guide
    FINA National Member Federations Administration Guide December 2017 WELCOME MESSAGE It is my great pleasure to introduce you this brochure presenting our concrete initiatives within our FINA Development Programme. Over the years, FINA has devoted an increased amount of work and resources into this fundamental project, aimed at raising the progress of our Aquatic disciplines in the five continents. The beneficiaries of this successful strategy are our 204 National Federations, and their respective athletes, coaches and officials. The improvement of the technical knowledge, together with a very methodological approach of theoretical and practical tools has conducted to a raise in the performances, leading to a more harmonious Aquatic level at global scale. It is now evident that a growing number of countries and athletes take part in our competitions, and that more National Federations also get their best competitors to podium positions; this is one of the most visible results of these Development Programmes. The legacy they provide and the local and national effect they generate are guarantees that our effort is fruitful and that we must continue working towards creating a world where Aquatics is a serious option for the youth. In this brochure, you will find all the specific programmes that FINA has launched and developed, and the reach they may have in our National Federations’ progress. As the world governing body, FINA is not only responsible for the elite in Aquatics. We must create the conditions for the Stars to shine and provide the necessary platforms for our Members in the five continents to achieve better results.

Aligned with its vision of creating An Active and Winning Nation, its primary focuses are providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; managing the regulatory framework thereof and providing funding for different codes of sport. The department transforms the delivery of sport and recreation by ensuring equitable access, development and excellence at all levels of participation, thereby improving social cohesion, nation-building and the quality of life of all South Africans.

Its legal mandate is derived from the National Sport and Recreation Amendment Act, 2007 (Act 18 of 2007), which requires it to oversee the development and management of sport and recreation in South Africa. The Act provides the framework for relationships between the department and its external clients. This includes the SRSA’s partnership with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC). The partnership is key to improving South Africa’s international ranking in selected sports. The Act also ensures that sport and physical education contribute to social cohesion by legislating on sports participation and sports infrastructure. Aligned with the SRSA’s vision of an active and winning nation, the department primarily focuses on providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; manages the regulatory framework; and provides funding for different sporting codes.

    2 Creepy crawlies, portapools and the dam(n)s of swimming transformation Ashwin Desai and Ahmed Veriava Conscious activity is a human characteristic...in swimming in the ocean of struggle, [we] must not flounder, but make sure of reaching the opposite shore with measured strokes. Strategy and tactics, as the laws for directing struggle, constitute the art of swimming in the ocean of struggle. (Mao Tse-Tung 1963) swimming, more Than any other Olympic sport, has enjoyed tremendous success since the country’s reintegration into international competition. Free from www.hsrcpress.ac.za download Swimmers such as Penny Heyns, Ryk Neethling and Roland Schoeman have become household names whose feats in the swimming pool have been immortalised in the record books – hot commodities in an increasingly corporatising discipline (as the attempts by the Olympic hopeful, Qatar, at luring Schoeman and Neethling into their squad illustrate). As many national squads are struggling to chalk up even the most modest accolades in international competition, South African swimming continues to go from strength to strength. However, and in spite of a long history of ‘black swimming’1 in South Africa, the highest levels of the sport remain dominated by white swimmers, and the infrastructure and levels of 14 Race to transform Book 16-2-10.indb 14 2/16/10 4:43:09 PM organisation necessary for participation remain concentrated in residential and recreational areas that were reserved, in terms of apartheid legislation, for whites only, and continue to have a predominantly white population.

  • Sport and Recreation
    The Department of Sport and Recreation (SRSA) derives its mandate from the National Sport and Recreation Act, 1998 (Act Act 110 of 1998), which requires it to oversee the development and management of sport and recreation in South Africa. The Act also provides the framework for relationships between SRSA and its external clients. This includes the department’s partnership with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc), which is key to improving South Africa’s international ranking in selected sports. The Act also ensures that South Africa contributes to sport, physical education and social cohesion by legislating on sports partici- pation as well as on sports infrastructure. The SRSA strategic goals are to: • increase citizens’ access to sport and recreation activities • oversee the transformation of the sport and recreation sector • ensure that more athletes achieve interna- tional success • develop enabling mechanisms to support sport and recreation • ensure that sport and recreation are used as tools to support social cohesion and nation building. Sport and Recreation South Africa The SRSA is the national department responsible for sport in the country. Aligned with its vision of an active and winning nation, it primarily focuses on providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; manages the regulatory framework; and provides funding for different sporting codes. The right to play and to participate in sport has been embodied in United Nations (UN) instruments such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. It is recognised as a right, which all governments should make available to their people.
