National Swimming Championship 2007
The National Swimming Championship 2007 is coming up! And this year will mark its 26th anniversary. These events were established to provide opportunities for the disabled to compete competitively and to form the basis of selecting best athletes to represent Singapore for major international competitions. Other than fostering camaraderie between Singapore and international athletes, other vital objectives include increasing public awareness and promoting widespread support for the sporting and recreational needs of the disabled community in Singapore.

SDSC hopes that this year’s 26th National Swimming Championship will foster a positive environment for competitive swimming, beginning from moving the emphasis of competitions away from solely winning, to laying the necessary foundation of success for the future.

The National Swimming Championship is open to participants of
• Age 5 to 17
• All Functional Swimming Classification Disabilities, Hearing Impairment, Visual Impairment & Intellectual Disabilities
