Swimming is one of the most popular sports in world. Unlike other sports, swimming is a life skill that is taught, first, to ensure safety and, secondly, for sports and competition purposes.
This swim program is for children & adults with intellectual disabilities. Practices will focus on developing the swimmers' endurance, technique, and competitive swimming skills. The Special Olympics Texas team practices once a week and swimmers can compete in the regional and state meets in the fall.
This swim team is for ages 6+ and anyone 8 years old & older can compete in local & state swim meets with other Special Olympic Texas teams. Team members will be placed into levels based on skill level: Learn-To-Swim, Stroke Development, or Squad Training.
