FINA Investigative Committee Members Announced

The Chairman is Gunnar Werner, a member of an open water swimming commission in the late 1980s, lawyer, Senior Vice President of the Court of Arbitration for Sport and a FINA Honorary Member.
The members include Harold Vervaecke, PhD of Belgium, the Secretary General of the International Life Saving Federation with a doctorate in Sports and Physical Education and Dr. Antonio Pelliccia, MD of Italy, the Scientific Director of the Institute of Sports Medicine of CONI and World Authority on Cardiovascular Disease and Sports Medicine (specializing in sudden death).

The Daily News of Open Water Swimming has seen both Greg and Tobie (both shown above) in action before, during and after open water swimming competitions. They are both knowledgeable, passionate and strong advocates of open water swimming safety and understand completely the needs of athletes before, during and after a competition, whether it is for elite professional swimmers, young age-group swimmers getting into the sport or older veterans enjoying the challenges of open water swimming.
The members of the FINA Task Force will begin their work immediately.
