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.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“Science, unguided by a higher abstract principle, freely hands over its secrets to a vastly developed and commercially inspired technology, and the latter, even less restrained by a supreme culture saving principle, with the means of science creates all the instruments of power demanded from it by the organization of Might.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
“The methods by which a trade union can alone act, are necessarily destructive; its organization is necessarily tyrannical.”
—Henry George (1839–1897)
