The swimming events of the 2008 Summer Paralympics were held in the Beijing National Aquatics Center between September 7 and September 15, 2008. A total of 140 gold medals were expected to be distributed.
Classifications
Athletes are allocated a classification for each event based upon their disability to allow fairer competition between athletes of similar ability. The classifications for swimming are:
- Visual impairment
- S11-S13
- Other disability
- S1-S10 (Freestyle, backstroke and butterfly)
- SB1-SB9 (breaststroke)
- SM1-SM10 (individual medley)
Classifications run from S1 (severely disabled) to S10 (minimally disabled) for athletes with physical disabilities, and S11 (totally blind) to S13 (legally blind) for visually impaired athletes. Blind athletes must use blackened goggles.
Events
Due to the classification process, there will be more than one set of medals in each of the traditional swimming events. The following events will be held in the various classifications.
