What is CCCAN?
CCCAN — the Central American and Caribbean Amateur Swimming Confederation — is the regional body that organizes and oversees aquatic sports competition across Central America, the Caribbean and Mexico, working as a zone confederation within Panam Aquatics under World Aquatics.[1] [2]
What does CCCAN do?
It stages the region's championships — most prominently the biennial CCCAN Championships, held since 1960 — maintains regional records, and runs age-group and invitational competition (including the Caribbean Islands Swimming Championships, CISC) that forms the competitive ladder for the region's swimmers.[1] [3]
Why does CCCAN matter?
For athletes from the Caribbean and Central American federations, CCCAN competition is the primary regional stage: national teams are selected to it, regional records are set at it, and results there feed qualification toward the CAC Games, Pan American events and World Aquatics championships.[1] [2]
