“Each finger individually is strong, but the fist is stronger” – Salnikov on the unification of water federations

Former President of the All-Russian Swimming Federation Vladimir Salnikov said uniting water federations into one would allow them to become stronger and solve problems at a higher level.

On Thursday, the Russian Olympic Committee held a reporting and election conference of the All-Russian Swimming Federation (ARSF). According to , former presidents of Russian aquatic federations Vladimir Salnikov, Olga Brusnikina, Evgeny Sharonov and Stanislav Druzhinin have joined the presidium of the Unified Aquatic Federation of Russia (FVVSR).

— Everyone evaluated the efforts and results of the conference very positively. We all go through difficult times and face the difficulties that have arisen, including in sport. Everything influences young athletes who want to build a full-fledged career. The desire for unification has matured. Previously there were attempts and thoughts, but there was not enough of what we have now. Everyone is excited that we are playing as one family. Each finger is strong individually, but the fist is stronger. Everyone will receive additional motivation to reach new heights. There will now be a meeting of the presidium, during which new tasks and arrangements that will be resolved in the near future will be outlined. We’ll talk about the specific steps a little later.

We all want to become stronger, it’s already happened. Everyone is in a fighting mood. We will all meet expectations with our work. FVVSR is a new structure. Previously there was something like a round table, but now there will be full programs. The level of problem solving is different. We were happy, as a swimming federation, to serve as a unifying platform. Five or six years ago, our sport did not receive this much attention. Its popularity is increasing, in part thanks to the Swimming for All program. Swimming is a unique sport and has no restrictions, ”reports a correspondent, reporting Salnikov’s words.
