'''India''''s history in '''rowing''' dates back to the British era. The first club, the [[Calcutta Rowing Club]] was founded in 1858. The [[Rowing Federation of India]] administers the sport in the country. India's first ever [[Asian Games]] gold medal was won by [[Bajrang Lal Takhar]] in 2010<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2010-11-19/news/27569975_1_pratima-puhana-south-asian-games-silver-medals |title=Asian Games: India wins first ever rowing gold |publisher=Articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com |date=2010-11-19 |accessdate=2012-05-26}}</ref> but the country has never won an [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] medal in the sport.

The '''Swimming Federation of India (SFI)''' is the national governing body for [[aquatic sports]] in India. Legally, it is a [[Nonprofit organization|non-profit association]] registered under the ''West Bengal Societies Registration Act, 1861''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Registration Certificate – |url=http://swimming.org.in/2017/12/22/registration-certificate/ |website=Swimming Federation of India |access-date=20 July 2018}}</ref> The Federation holds elections for its office bearers every four years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://swimming.org.in/sfi/|title=About SFI|website=Swimming Federation of India|access-date=20 July 2018}}</ref> The SFI currently oversees competition in the sports of [[Swimming (sport)|swimming]], [[masters swimming]], [[Synchronised swimming|synchronized swimming]], [[Diving (sport)|diving]], [[high diving]], and [[water polo]]. It is affiliated to [[FINA]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fina.org/national-federations/IND|title=National Federations|website=FINA|language=en|access-date=20 July 2018}}</ref> and the [[Asia Swimming Federation]] (ASF).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://asiaswimmingfederation.org/about_nat_fed_desc.php?fed=12|title=National Federations|website=Asia Swimming Federation|access-date=20 July 2018}}</ref>

The SFI was formed by the merger of the National Swimming Association (NSA) and the Indian Swimming Federation (ISF) in 1948. Prior to the merger, the NSA and ISF had been engaged in disputes. While the Calcutta-based NSA received affiliation from FINA in 1932-33, the ISF had the support of the [[Indian Olympic Association]]. The [[Union Government]] intervened to resolve the dispute by merging the two entities to form the SFI.<ref>{{cite web |title=Swimming Federation of India - SFI - Indian Swimming Federation |url=http://www.iloveindia.com/sports/swimming/sfi.html |website=www.iloveindia.com |access-date=20 July 2018 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Sharma |first1=V.
