The Brazilian Confederation of Aquatic Sports (Portuguese: Confederação Brasileira de Desportos Aquáticos; CBDA) is the governing body of aquatic sports in Brazil.
It was founded as the Brazilian Swimming Confederation (Portuguese: Confederação Brasileira de Natação; CBN) on 21 October 1977 after dismembering from the Brazilian Sports Confederation. The confederation was renamed in 1988 to reflect all modalities it manages: swimming, open water, water polo, diving and artistic swimming.
Currently, it has all 26 Brazilian states, in addition to the Federal District, as affiliated federations.[2]
