During the FINA General Congress on Friday July 26 in Barcelona the five continental organisation
s will propose their candidates for the FINA Bureau-elections. The Royal Dutch Swimming Federation presents its president Erik van Heijningen as a candidate for the post of Bureau Member, through the 'world at large'-elections.
Since 2001 Erik van Heijningen has built up a long and wide experience in the world of public government, law and sport. Since 2006 he is Member of the LEN-Bureau, since 2008 Vice-President. Since 2009 he is acting Chairman of the FINA doping Panel. Due to this experience and his knowledge of several languages he is ready to make this step to the FINA-Bureau led by the well-respected FINA President Julio Maglione.
He will represent the interests of the LEN-members in the best possible way, serving LEN-President Paolo Barelli and in good cooperation with the other LEN-representatives Dimitris Diathesepoulos, Tamas Gyarfas and David Sparkes. It is a common task to serve the interests of international aquatics, together with all federations and continental organisations.
The Dutch Federation will also support Vladimir Salnikov as 'world at large'-candidate for the Bureau membership. His experience as President of the Russian Swimming Federation and impressive sport career in swimming show he is "the right man in the right place"!
