This is after its affiliation date with FINA, which most likely means that an initial body/group was a member in 1908 on FINA's founding and that group later changed into/became FFN, upon its official recognition by the Government of France. 1908 FSM Oceania 1997 1998 GAB Africa GAM Africa 2009 GBR Great Britain Europe 1909 1908 GBS Africa 2004 GEO Europe 1991 1992 GEQ Africa 2000 2000 GER Europe 1886 1908 GHA Africa 2004 GIB Europe 1946 1966 GRE Europe 1927 1921 GRN Americas 1992 1992 GUA Americas 1949 GUI Africa GUM Oceania 1965 1966 GUY Americas 1973 1993 HAI Americas 2014 HKG Asia 1951 1951 HON Americas 1974 HUN Europe 1907 1908 INA Asia 1951 1952 IND Asia 1936 IRI Asia 1946 1947 IRL Ireland Europe 1893 1927 IRQ Asia 1956 1957 ISL Iceland Europe 1951 1951 ISR Israel Europe 1951 1952 ISV Virgin IslandsNote on ISV: The United States Virgin Islands are referred to as simply "Virgin Islands" and not some variant with a "US" reference in them. This is most likely because for a time the USVIs were the only Virgin Islands that were a member of either the International Olympic Committee or FINA. When the British Virgin Islands became a FINA member (2008), they were given a separate country code (IVB); however, the U.S. Virgin Islands country label was not changed--it has remained "Virgin Islands".
