United States Aquatic Sports
From Openwaterpedia
noun - United States Aquatic Sports (USAS) is the national federation for aquatic sports which represent the United States in FINA (Fédération Internationale de Nation). As determined by U.S. law and FINA regulations, the United States must have only one national federation as a representative to FINA. That federation is United States Aquatic Sports, Inc.
Since 1980, there are five national governing bodies (NGBs) that make up USAS: USA Swimming, USA Diving, United States Synchronized Swimming, USA Water Polo, and United States Masters Swimming. Of the five, only United States Masters Swimming (USMS) is not a member of the United States Olympic Committee.
