Cádiz presents the Andalusian Adapted Swimming Championship

The Andalusian Swimming Championship for People with Physical Disabilities will be presented this Monday, November 9 at 12:00 p.m. in the Salón Isabelino of Cádiz City Hall. The event serves to publicize the competition before it takes place. The presentation will feature the Councillor for Sports of Cádiz City Hall, Carlos Lucero; the president of the Andalusian Federation of Sports for People with Physical Disabilities (FADDF), María del Carmen Otero Ruiz; and the spokesperson for Club Natación NadaGades, Juan Luis Arévalo, as announced by the City Council. Adapted swimming is the modality practiced by athletes with physical, visual and intellectual disabilities. It is regulated by the International Paralympic Committee and its rules are based on those of the International Swimming Federation (FINA), with adaptations in aspects such as the starting position. Swimmers are grouped into categories: from S1 to S10 for those with physical disabilities, from S11 to S13 for visual disabilities and S14 for intellectual disabilities. The events are the same as in conventional swimming, with distances of 50, 100 and 400 metres in freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly, in addition to the combined events. The event is open to the public and will be held at Cádiz City Hall, in the Plaza de San Juan de Dios.
