Our Mission

We are the authoritative home for Seychelles aquatic sports, supporting clubs, coaches, officials, and families with clear pathways, performance development, and safeguarding.

Events

National Competition Structure

The Seychelles Aquatic Federation (SAF) operates a tiered national competition framework designed to support athlete development and high-performance outcomes.

Club and Development Meets form the foundation of the pathway and are open to registered swimmers, providing opportunities to gain race experience and achieve qualifying times.

The National Age Group Championships represent the highest level of national competition for age-group swimmers. Entry is subject to published age-group qualifying standards achieved at approved competitions.

The National Open Championships are the pinnacle national event for senior and elite swimmers. Entry is performance-based and subject to published qualifying standards and/or selection criteria.

National Championships are not participation events. Entry is granted only to swimmers who meet the relevant standards, ensuring competition quality and alignment with international best practice.

A set of streamlined, stainless steel swimming trophies with elegant engraved plaques and deep blue glass accents, neatly arrayed on a polished wooden shelf against a neutral grey wall. Gentle recessed overhead lighting provides focused highlights that glint on the trophies’ surfaces and cast refined reflections, giving a sense of achievement and prestige. The composition is arranged for symmetry and balance, with the shelf subtly anchored in the lower third of the frame to create visual stability. The atmosphere is proud but understated, in line with the federation’s professional and performance-driven ethos. The photographic realism and minimalist aesthetic reinforce accomplishment within a structured, corporate environment.
