Para-swimming

Para-swimming is an adaptive sport that enables athletes with various disabilities to compete in swimming. It includes classifications based on the type and extent of each athlete’s impairment, ensuring fair competition. Athletes may have physical, vision, or intellectual disabilities and are grouped to emphasize skill and technique. Events are held in standard swimming pools, and competitors use modified techniques or equipment as needed. Para-swimming promotes inclusion, enhances athletic ability, and showcases exceptional skill and determination, highlighting that physical differences do not define an individual's potential or competitive spirit.
