If you are looking to become a professional athlete in the field of aquatic sports like swimming, diving, water polo, synchronised swimming or any other, then it is important that you become a member of the Indian Swimming Federation. In India, there are many states and each state has many swimming clubs, swimming pools and competitions. In order to get a uniform standard across all these clubs and associations, a nationwide organisation is required. The apex body that coordinates all these organisations is the Indian Swimming Federation. It is the official body that is approved by the government of India.
