International Swimmers' Alliance

The ISA has a goal to improve personal and economic opportunities for all swimmers by elevating swimming into the era of modern sports.

[International Swimmers' Alliance @IntSwimAlliance]

We are incredibly excited to announce the establishment of the International Swimmers’ Alliance, an independent organization established for athletes, by athletes that aims to fight for swimmers’ rights and provide them with an #independent global voice.

If the IOC can do this to one of its most senior members you now understand clearly why everyone, including athletes, are afraid to speak up.
Retribution is real. @Olympics bullies.

What role did athletes play in developing these reforms? What role will athletes have in the implementation of these reforms? What role with athletes have in Phase 2 of the reforms?

Independent athlete leadership leading the way.

On the 40th anniversary of the first time athletes got to address the IOC, the @IntSwimAlliance confirmed that it is to meet the new FINA leadership this December with a view to building a better working relationship & secure a seat at the top table

Without oversight & independent athlete representation @Olympics will continue to profit from unpaid athlete workers. National Oly/Para Committees won’t change until the #IOC & #IPC are forced to reform & share profits

@IntSwimAlliance share widely, this stand for human rights by our fellow swimmer, passing his @Tokyo2020 spot to stand vs Myanmar’s junta. @Olympics should have banned the Myanmar NOC but again they didn't follow their own rules, now a swimmer pays price https://t.co/upFPOjADsJ

[Global Athlete @GlobalAthleteHQ]

The @IntSwimAlliance is working to increase athlete influence over the sport and improve the financial situation of its athletes.
