As well as swimming strokes, they are also divided into ten different categories[3]:

  • S1/SB1: swimmers who may have tetraplegia or some form of loss of muscular power in their legs, arms and hands. These swimmers would regularly use a wheelchair.
  • S2/SB1: swimmers who may have limited function in their hands, trunk and legs and mainly rely on their arms to swim.
  • S3/SB2: swimmers who have leg or arm amputations, have severe coordination problems in their limbs or have to swim with their arms but don't use their trunk or legs.
  • S4/SB3: swimmers who have function in their hands and arms but can't use their trunk or legs to swim or they have three amputated limbs.
  • S5/SB4: swimmers who have hemiplegia, paraplegia or short stature.
  • S6/SB5: swimmers who have short stature or arm amputations or some form of coordination problem on one side of their body.
  • S7/SB6: swimmers who have one leg and one arm amputation on opposite side or paralysis on one side of their body. These swimmers have full control of their arms and trunk but variable function in their legs.
  • S8/SB7: swimmers who have a single amputation or restrictive movement in their hip, knee and ankle joints.
  • S9/SB8: swimmers who have joint restrictions in one leg or double below-the-knee amputations.
  • S10/SB9: swimmers who have minor physical impairments, for example, loss of one hand.
  • S11/SB11: swimmers who have severe visual impairments and have very low or no light perception, such as blindness, they are required to wear blackened goggles to compete. They use tappers when competing in swimming events.
