Since the first Paralympic Games in Rome in 1960, Swimming has been one of the main sports of the Paralympics. As in the Olympic Games, competitors measure their skills in Freestyle, Backstroke, Butterfly, Breaststroke and Medley events. In 2009, athletes from more than 80 countries practice the sport, with male and female competitors having either a physical disability or blindness/visual impairm

ent. Athletes are classified based on their functional ability to perform each stroke. Depuis les premiers Jeux paralympiques à Rome en 1960, la natation a été l'un des principaux sports des Jeux paralympiques. Comme dans les Jeux Olympiques, les concurrents mesurent leurs compétences en Freestyle, dos, papillon, brasse et épreuves de quatre nages. En 2009, les athlètes de plus de 80 pays pratiquent ce sport, avec des concurrents masculins et féminins ayant soit une déficience physique ou une déficience visuelle. Les athlètes sont classés en fonction de leur capacité fonctionnelle pour effectuer chaque course.
