Developing and promoting swimming, one child at a time.
About Us
Who are we and what do we do.
The SKN Swimming Federation is a non profit organization affiliated with FINA, UANA and CCCAN. Our mission is to promote and generate interest in grass roots level swimming instruction and the development of swimming both as a sport and as an activity for all.
The federation has grand plans to one day have swimming pools on both of our islands and educate and train the youth in particular but anyone who does not currently have the ability to swim.
Development and Awareness.
The SKNSF recently held the official launch of their FINA funded OASP program for the development of swimming here in SKN. We heralded the construction of a 25m floating swimming pool, the very first international distance facility in our twin-Island federation, this will provide the first opportunity for our fledgling swimmers to be timed over the correct distance. Moving forward this will be used for the continued progress of our youngsters, enabling them to learn flip turns and eventually diving platform starts. On hand to cut the ribbon were the Sport Ministers of both islands Mr. Eric Evelyn (Nevis) and Mr. Jonel Powell (St Kitts) who have both been very supportive and enthusiastic towards the future of this new sporting discipline.
Our Programs
The ‘GIFTING GOGGLES’ initiative was launched at the beginning of 2020, with the sole purpose of assisting in the development of youth swimming. The program asks of hotel guests who plan to swim whilst on vacation, and swim event participants, to donate their used goggles to our youth. We also encourage anyone who so wishes, to collect or purchase childrens swim goggles and drop them off with us, either in St kitts or or Nevis
