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?

You're also assuming that FINA would ban swimmers or not allow them to compete in both. While that's certainly possible, I'm not so sure it's any more likely than them allowing swimmers to compete in both.
Given the FINA reaction to WAMO I think it is a safe assumption that they will ban anyone who joins a rival organization.
Check out General Rule 4:

If I wanted to bring about change I would go through the FINA constitution and bylaws to check out the provisions for the members amending these documents. It would be very surprising if there weren't options for the members to override the exec committee.
