This paper analyzes the ways in which social and political relations are established from a sport. It will take the case of a group of “master” swimmers (adults ) of Club Unidos de La Plata , who since the 2008 year take part of the political leadership of the institution , to show the way they relate between each other and the institutional politics, giving specific senses to their participation in “politics” . Since the practice of swimming is valued by these actors not only for its sportive dimension , but mainly for its social dimension , here we seek to reflect on the ways from participating in a sportive and sociable practice , actors with different histories and political trajectories are linked together , build relationships and dispute positions of power , such as the presidency of the club or a place in the executive committee. In turn , we will seek to reflect on the link between these relationships and other areas of local politics , considering the senses given by the actors to the participation in this space.Downloads
