The Lebanese Swimming Federation[1][2] (LSF) (French: Fédération Libanaise de Natation) is the national governing body of swimming in Lebanon, founded in 1961.[3]

The LSF is an active member of the International Swimming Federation (FINA)[4] and the Asia Swimming Federation (AASF).[5] Nationally, it is affiliated to the Lebanese Olympic Committee.[6] It operates in conformity with the organization’s charter accepted by FINA and AASF. It was established in 1947.

Lebanese swimming federation has the responsibility for elite performance, doping control and international relationships and events for the sports within Lebanon.

For the first time in history, a Lebanese swimming team attended the 1968 Summer Olympics held in Mexico, with one male swimmer attending the event (Yacoub Masboungi).[7] The first female Lebanese swimmer to attend an Olympics was Ani Jane Mugrditchian, at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.
