What questions would you add to this survey
What recommendations/suggestions/ideas do you have for FINA and/or CANA?
If you were given a US $30,000 grant to develop swimming in your country, what would you do with the money?
This is one of the most important questions. Please give a detailed answer. Don't just say "develop" swimming or "more coach training". Really think about HOW you would use the money. What exactly would you do with it. US $30,000 is not enough to build a pool, so that's not realistic. What we need our well-thought out answers based on the reality of what US $30,000 can do and what it can't do.
Is there anything else you wish to say?
