- The Singapore Swimming Association (abbreviation: SSA) is the national governing body for competitive swimming, diving, synchronised swimming, water polo and open water swimming in Singapore. The SSA is also charged with selecting the Singapore Olympic Swimming team and any other teams that officially represent Singapore, as well as the overall organisation and operation of the sport within the country. Swimming is the country's strongest sport. Singapore was the best nation at the inaugural Asian Games for swimming. It peaked when Singaporean swimmer Joseph Schooling won an Olympic gold medal at the Men's 100 metre butterfly, the first Asian swimmer ever to do so, having also broke the Olympic record in the process. Singapore is also a powerhouse in swimming at the regional Southeast Asian Games, having consistently been the best nation for most of its editions and winning the most medals by a wide margin. Founded in 1939 as the Singapore Amateur Swimming Association (abbreviation: SASA); the body adopted its current name in 2002. It has been a member of FINA since its founding, and is one of the founding members of the Asia Swimming Federation. Its headquarters are located at 7 Stadium Drive in Kallang. (en)
