Aquatics
Aquatics are one of Special Olympics original sports and have been included in the Special Olympics World Games since 1968. Individual events are offered for all strokes, and relay events mirror those offered in other international swimming competitions. Because it is easy to learn, aquatics are an appropriate sport for athletes of all ages and ability levels.
An athlete takes a breadth in the 50-meter butterfly.
