FINA financed and organised, with the help of the participating National Member Federations, a total of 161 Schools over the past four years, benefitting more than 3750 people.

Usually held over a weekend or a long weekend session, the Schools are organised at a central location in order to facilitate and encourage the participation, the programme and the content is created by the respective FINA Technical Committees of each discipline and is continuously updated according to the new aquatic rules. The Schools are run by a panel of 30 experts from more than 20 nationalities.
