Basque Swimming Federation Explained
The Basque Swimming Federation (Basque: Euskal Igeriketa Erakundea, EIF; Spanish; Castilian: Federación Vasca de Natación|link=no, FVN) is the body responsible for managing swimming sport in the Basque Country autonomous region.[1] [2] Its offices are in Bilbao.
The federation integrates the three regional federations - the Biscayan Swimming Federation (FBN-BIF)[3] of Biscay, the Gipuzkoa Swimming Federation (GIF)[4] of Gipuzkoa and the Álava Swimming Federation (FAN)[5] of Álava, being represented by the Basque organization.[6] [7] [8]
The Basque Swimming Federation is part of the Royal Spanish Swimming Federation (RFEN).
History
In 1943, Maurice Larribot, as a swimmer and later a sports manager, managed to The Biscayan and Guipuzcoan swimmers end up understanding each other and come together to found the Basque Swimming Federation.[9] [10]
A year later, 1944, the total unification of Basque-Navarre swimming was achieved, when Alava joined them, at the same time as the Basque Association of Referees was founded. That same year, the Judizmendi Swimming Club settled in the Polvorin swimming pool in Alava, and organized the Basque-Navarrese "Regional" Championships there. In 1975 the Basque-Navarra Federation was dissolved, as both became independent from each other, becoming the Basque Federation and the Navarra Federation.
In 1985, the Federation was legally established, establishing itself with the legal form of a Basque sports association.[11] The chairperson of the Basque Swimming Federation was Javier Sáez, who was also the vicepresident of the Royal Spanish Swimming Federation (RFEN).[12] He was the chairperson from 2013 to 2024.[13]
