by World Para Swimming
World Para Swimming is the international federation governing competitive swimming for athletes with physical, visual, and intellectual impairments. Operated under World Aquatics (formerly FINA), Para Swimming includes 14 competition classes (S1–S14) covering a wide spectrum of impairment types and degrees, ensuring fair competition across Paralympic and world championship events.
World Para Swimming sanctions international competition including the Paralympic Games, World Para Swimming Championships, and World Series events. It maintains the classification system used worldwide, publishes world rankings, supports national federations in developing athlete pathways, and oversees anti-doping compliance. The website provides resources for athletes seeking classification, national federation contacts, and upcoming competition calendars.
Swimmers with physical impairments (limb differences, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy), visual impairments, and intellectual impairments at all competitive levels — from those seeking their first classification to Paralympians. Recreational swimmers with disabilities are encouraged to contact their national swimming federation for grassroots programme information.
