The New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association is formally constituted[7] on 4 January. It is the second national governing body in the world after the A.S.A.ofEngland.[8] A subsequent disagreement between the North and South Island clubs leads to the formation of a rival association in the North Island known as the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association Registered. The two associations remain apart until uniting on 21 March 1904.
