 Aquatics
is one of Special Olympics' original sports, and has been included
in the Special Olympics World Games since 1968. Events are offered
for all strokes, and relay events mirror those offered in other
international swimming competitions.
Because it is easy to learn, aquatics is appropriate for a wide
range of age and ability levels. Walking and floatation events
are offered for athletes of lower ability. As in all Special Olympics
sports, athletes are placed in divisions according to ability,
age, and gender.
