Note: Netherlands Antilles (AHO) was a member prior to its sports-nation status dissolution in 2011-12; Curaçao and Sint Maarten originated out of that. Tahiti (TAH) was also a member from 1992 onwards, but as of 2016 is no longer listed as a member on FINA's website.

As of 2019, Kiribati, Nauru, South Sudan, São Tomé e Príncipe and Tuvalu are not FINA members.

gollark: I could try and go catch a fell, but they'll grow up before it would cooldown.
gollark: They probably will.
gollark: Zyus are kind of rareishes.
gollark: You could probably get *two*.
gollark: Come on, if anyone asked, that would basically be the response.

  5. The French Swimming Federation (Fédération Française de Natation, FFN), was created on November 20, 1920; and declared official on December 9, 1920 according to the (in French) Statuts et Règlements de la FFN Archived 2011-07-20 at the Wayback Machine page (trans: Rules and Regulations) of the FFN. This is after its affiliation date with FINA, which most likely means that an initial body/group was a member in 1908 on FINA's founding and that group later changed into/became FFN, upon its official recognition by the Government of France.
  6. Note on ISV: The United States Virgin Islands are referred to as simply "Virgin Islands" and not some variant with a "US" reference in them. This is most likely because for a time the USVIs were the only Virgin Islands that were a member of either the International Olympic Committee or FINA. When the British Virgin Islands became an IOC and FINA member (2008), they were given a separate country code (IVB); however, the U.S. Virgin Islands country label was not changed--it has remained "Virgin Islands".
