For the first time, the decision to create the Federation was discussed at a coaches’ meeting during the Ukrainian diving competition in Zaporizhzhya in 1991.
At the beginning of 1992, a constituent conference was held, which was attended by representatives from all regions that were developing diving sport. The President of the Federation was elected Melnyk Konstantyn Dmytrovych.
The Federation’s leadership rotated from 1993 to 2000. The following people headed it: K. Alekseev, I. Gulov, and Y. Osipchuk.
The Federation was created and registered with the Ministry of Justice in 2000, as the law required. Igor Lysov was elected President and holds that position today.

For over 25 years, Igor Lysov has led the Ukrainian Diving Federation, during which time much has been done to promote this sport. Diving has become one of the leading sports in Ukraine—athletes delight with high results, the team is among the best in Europe, and Kyiv regularly hosts high-level competitions.
This became possible due to constant support and because, in 2013, the company “Liko-Holding,” as the official sponsor of the Ukrainian national team, built and opened the “Liko” Sports Centre, which soon became the Olympic training centre for athletes and the main base for the diving team. This is the only arena in Ukraine with World Aquatics (FINA) and European Aquatics (LEN) certificates.
It is at this arena that the Ukrainian Diving Championships, Ukrainian Cups in Diving, and training camps take place. Since 2017, the “Liko” Sports Center has hosted the European Diving Championship (2017, 2019) and the World Junior Diving Championships (2018, 2021).
In 2017, our team won first place in the team event and became the holder of the LEN Cup, and in 2021, for the first time in the history of Independent Ukraine, our team won 9 medals and placed first in the overall team standings at the World Junior Championships.
Igor Lysov – the President of the Diving Federation of Ukraine (since 1999). Vice-President of the National Olympic Committee (since 2019). Member of the Executive Committee of the NOC of Ukraine (since 2014). The secret of Igor Lysov’s success is inexhaustible energy, strong character, and unlimited passion for his favourite business. Igor Volodymyrovych does an excellent job for the Ukrainian diving: as a result, Ukraine’s diving team is one of the top three teams in Europe. In 2014, he made the dream of Ukrainian athletes come true – building the best swimming pool in Europe for them.
President of the Ukrainian Diving Federation. Honorary President of Liko-Holding Building Company.
