South Carolina Swimming is constantly looking for ways to encourage member clubs with disability swimmers to participate at the highest levels of competition.

South Carolina Swimming is looking for swimmers age 11-18 to consider participation with the 2021 South Carolina Zone Team in Tupelo, MS July 27-31, 2021. These swimmers will participate alongside our Age Group Zone Team at the Southern Zone Championships. As their events are run and scored separately during the meet, this presents a great opportunity for our disability swimmers to achieve recognition for their accomplishments.

If you have any swimmers who might be interested, please encourage them to look over the information below.
Para Swimming at the zone level is broken into three separate groups, each with their own set of Qualifying Times.


P1: Non-Ambulatory (wheelchair bound) - Limited Use of Extremities
P2: Dwarfism, multiple limb deficiencies, ambulatory with assistance, can be wheelchair bound with high functioning upper body.
P3: Single limb deficiencies, visual impairments, intellectual impairments, ambulatory without significant assistance. 
For questions about the South Carolina Swimming Zone Team, contact the
Age Group Committee, the Disability Committee or Sports Development.
