A Guide for Swimmers and Parents
One of our goals is the inclusion of swimmers
with a disability. We welcome you to join
a club, compete in meets, and participate
in educational activities such as camps and
clinics. As people with a disability know,
inclusion is not always easy. You may be the
only swimmer with a disability on your club.
You may encounter coaches and officials who
know relatively little about disability and
inclusion. There might be times when you and
your parents need to advocate for your rights.

Swimming Galas for Swimmers With a Disability
Some Disabled swimmers enjoy and benefit from
the stimulus of competition, and so they should
be encouraged to take part in Galas. However,
swimmers should not be bullied or coerced
into taking part if they do not want to, since
as well as simply not wishing to take part,
they may also have other medical reason for
not being able to take part.

Including Swimmers With a Disability
This brochure was written to help LSCs respond
to the challenge of including swimmers with
a disability. Although each LSC has the flexibility
to tailor policies, procedures, and programs
to meet the unique needs of its own athletes,
coaches, and volunteers, there are some areas
of commonality which each LSC should strive
to address when formulating inclusion policies
and programs.

provision in a modern sports facility. The
checklists in the pocket at the end of the
document are for use in conjunction with the
access audits and audit methodology information
in the section on Adapting and Improving Existing
Buildings.
