Organization
ASUA is divided into 4 Zones, each with its own body which organizes competitions. The bodies that oversees these Zones, and their approximate geographical areas, are:
- Zone 1: CONSANAT--the South American Swimming Confederation (Confederación Sudamericana de Natación).
- Zone 2: CCCAN--the Central American and Caribbean Swimming Confederation (Confederación Centroamericana y del Caribe de Natación).
- Zone 3: United States Aquatic Sports (USAS)
- Zone 4: Aquatic Federation of Canada
Member countries (with FINA abbreviations), by zone:
| Zone | Confederation | Countries | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | CONSANAT (12) |
|
|||
| 2 | CCCAN (26) |

| 3 | USAS (1) | USA (USA) | |||
| 4 | AFC (1) | Canada (CAN) |
Note: The Turks and Caicos Islands (TCN) would also be members of ASUA; however, as of November 2011, they are not listed as CCCAN members, the regional confederation they would geographically belong to.

“The newly-formed clothing unions are ready to welcome her; but woman shrinks back from organization, Heaven knows why! It is perhaps because in organization one find the truest freedom, and woman has been a slave too long to know what freedom means.”
—Katharine Pearson Woods (1853–1923)
“It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.”
