History of Russian water sports federations’ unification The Russian swimming federations used to function as autonomous and independent from each other until 2024. For comparison, the world’s governing body of swimming sports, World Aquatics, is a single organization today that oversees six sports: swimming, synchronized swimming, water polo, diving, open water swimming and extreme high diving. On October 1, 2024, President of the Russian Swimming Federation Vladimir Salnikov announced a decision to unify all Russian sports swimming federations into a single body. He noted at that time "that this measure could be a logical continuation of the integration processes which started following the unification of the gymnastics federations [in October 2024]," adding that this move would "provide for stronger and more coordinated structure that can effectively develop our sporting disciplines." According to Salnikov, the unification of federations will contribute not only to the consolidation of resources and simplification of administrative procedures, but will also improve the quality of training and competition processes. Russian Water Polo Federation President Sharonov said earlier he hoped that the merger "will give a new impetus to the development of water polo." Druzhinin, the chief of the Russian Diving Federation noted that it "would only be for the benefit" and "will be in line with international trends, and will promote further our communications with the World Aquatics." Olga Brusnikina, President of the FSPR, also stated that the merger was the best thing. Brusnikina, the Russian Synchronized Swimming Federation, also pointed out the feasibility of unifying. Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev announced on October 1 his support for the initiative to unify the country’s federations of water sports. The minister stated that such a move "would help achieve better results, primarily in the development of children's and youth sports, and will increase popularity among the people."

I need your help. As I mentioned before, I am thinking of growing the Go Goosey brand to include adult onesies (women's onesies to start with) to be used after swimming, surfing, for festivals and camping (for use out of the communal showers), hot tubs and paddleboarding, for swim teachers or after any water activity. Should we stick with the 2 colour combinations, like our kid's quick dry onesies or should we do a single colour-only option? We are still in the early stages of design so no colour has been decided at this time. #adultonesies #quickdrying #afterswimonesie #swimmingteacher #openwaterswimming #paddleboarding

I'm conflicted reading this. One cannot deny that Snowboarding's inclusion in the Olympic program helped wintersports as a whole. Participation increased across both skiing and snowboarding, manufacturer sales increased dramatically, and athletes who'd been labeled as 'misfits' and 'delinquents' participating in 'the worst new sport' by Time magazine only a few years prior became household names virtually overnight. One also cannot deny that there's been a price for such growth. The commercialization of these sports came at the expense of creativity. As sponsorship dollars retreated towards skiing and snowboarding's competitive disciplines, these sports - once vehicles for creative expression - began to more closely resemble disciplines like figure skating than the activities which their lineage could directly be traced to (skateboarding and surfing). This transition alienated passionate participants and prospective entrants alike. To be clear: I don't think this is solely the FIS's fault. As an industry, we've stopped investing in the future of these sports. We've largely walked away from activities and events that celebrate/reward creative expression and/or facilitate participation. A lion's share of our R&D efforts and new product initiatives focus on the development of products or experiences that are engineered to enhance performance rather than eliminate pain-points for new / early adopters. And we're struggling with earnest efforts to make our sports more accessible and inclusive. Whether this will be good for these disciplines (and the future of these sports) is irrelevant. For better or for worse, that train has left the station. In my mind, the question(s) on the table are as follows: (1) What lessons can we learn from Snowboarding and Freeskiing's inclusion, and (2) how can we - endemic brands, governing bodies, and media - apply these lessons to insulate these disciplines from experiencing the same whiplash? Would love to engage with thinkers & doers like Liam Griffin on this subject...
