From the ASCA conference going on this week. This is copied from swimnews. Does anyone believe that there will be a new world swimming governing body?

What's the ultimate goal? Olympic Gold. Who controls that? IOC. Who does the insular IOC recognize and is not about to recognize any other body? The now more insular FINA.
This happened in tennis a long time ago and took a long time to resolve. I think the elite swimmers would go with FINA, because the big money is Olympic Gold.
Nice idea, but I don't have much hope for it.
