Twenty-six representatives from 13 districts and 23 members of the ad-hoc committee participated in the general assembly inaugurated by Youth and Sports Minister Kamala Roka.
This was the first general assembly of the NSA after the merger of two national swimming associations, one recognized by National Sports Council (NSC) and the other by Nepal Olympic Committee (NOC) on June.
Earlier, NOC, recognized by International Olympic Committee, had objected to the merger stating it has violated the system and Olympic Charter.
However, NOC President Dhruba Bahadur Pradhan and Vice president Umesh Lal Shrestha were present at the NSA general assembly on Saturday.
