History
The New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association was founded on 4 January 1890 at the urging of the Auckland (Swimming) Club,[5][6] and was based in Auckland. When the headquarters moved to Christchurch in 1896 the Auckland club withdrew from the Association and in 1898 formed a rival association, the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association Registered.[6] The two associations were reunited on 21 March 1904.[1]
The first national championship events were held in the year the Association was formed, with a different carnival for each event until 1905 when all events were held at a single venue.[5]
The first championship event for women was held in 1912.[5]
The NZASA became the New Zealand Swimming Federation in 1988 and changed to its present name in 1999.[6]
