The European Swimming Championships for the classic, 50-metre “long course” pool is generally organised every two years by the European Swimming Federation (Ligue Européenne de Natation, LEN), which functions as the governing body for 50 European national swimming federations. LEN was founded in 1926 in Budapest and its administrative headquarters are located in Rome. Hungary is represented in LEN by the Hungarian Swimming Federation. Along with swimming, the Federation is also responsible for the supervision of water polo, diving, synchronised swimming and long distance or open water swimming. Until 1999, competitions in all of these sports were held within the framework of the European Swimming Championships, while since then a separate European Championship has been organised for water polo.
