ABOUT THE CHALLENGERS
SwimPossible
The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship.
Swimming is one of the most popular sports in the world. Swimming is a life skill that is taught, first, to ensure safety and, secondly, for sports and competition purposes. Competitive swimming covers a great variety of swimming skills, from short sprints to longer events and relays.
​
Our Special Olympics program brings SwimPossible's cause to life by providing everyone with the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
