FINA

FINA and its various aquatic sports play a crucial role in the Olympic Movement, significantly enhancing the overall success of the Games. Swimming has been a part of the Olympic events since 1896, while Water Polo was introduced as the first team sport in the Olympics in 1900. Diving followed in 1904.
