Afghanistan National Swimming Federation (ANSF) is an active member of the International Swimming Federation (FINA) and Asia Swimming Federation (AASF). In Afghanistan, it is affiliated to the National Olympic Committee. It operates in conformity with the organization’s charter accepted by FINA and AASF. It was established in 2004.

ANSF presently has its offices in 8 provinces of Afghanistan namely: Kabul, Herat, Balkh, Diakondi, Badakhshan, Baghlan, Ghor and Panjshir. ANSF is working on expanding its activities in the rest of the provinces to further expand its reach in the country and scout out the best swimming talents of the nation. Our goal is to find the best talent who could represent the country in the International and regional championships and tournaments.

Afghanistan National Swimming Federation has managed to get involved in the regional, Continental and World level event and discussions on this swimming. For the first time in the history, Afghanistan swimming team attended the world Championships[1] held in Hungary in July 2017 with two swimmers attending the event.

Afghanistan became one of the first countries of FINA members to host the First FINA World Aquatics Day in Kabul in July 2017.[2][3]

Afghanistan Swimming Federation is working on developing a master plan for the next three years for development of this sport in the country. In the 2017 FINA elections, Afghanistan National Swimming President Sayed Ihsanuddin Taheri was elected member of the FINA Media Committee for the period of 2017-2021 alongside China and Oman to represent Asia on the Committee.
