As on the fact that this page has been firstly installed  at the beginning of August 1999, then updated several times in the course of 2001 and 2002, the arranger of this web site's corner would like to keep it same with no significantly changes.... Pursuant to that, here you can meet some of the worthy swimmers and talents from the country, also can take a look and introduce their results throughout that 5-year period.  This presentation should also be seen as a small review of the swim history of Yugoslav Swimming Federation (now Swimming Federation of Serbia and Montenegro) and its very first steps in the promotion of the national swimming on the World Wide Web.  What 's essential as on the National Federation?
