Swimming at the 1960 Summer Paralympics

Swimming at the I Paralympic Games

Paralympic Swimming

Swimming at the 1960 Summer Paralympics consisted of 62 events, 32 for men and 30 for women.

Each race had no more than three competitors so every swimmer completing a race was guaranteed a medal. All the swimmers successfully completed their races, and every swimmer at the Games therefore earned a medal.
