Aquatics

Aquatics is one of Special Olympics' original sports and has been included in the Special Olympics World Games since 1968. Individual 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. The aquatics are contested at the Special Olympics Maryland Summer Games held at the University of Maryland, College Park. Check the calendar for dates.
