New GA Swimming Inclusion Policy:

It is requested that, under the authority of section 202.2.13 of the United States Swimming Rules and Regulations, Georgia Swimming adopt the following policy to encourage swimmers with a disability to participate in Georgia Swimming meets. This policy will apply only to swimmers with disabilities as defined in section 105 of the United States Swimming Rules and Regulations “a permanent physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities”.

In regular season meets disabled swimmers need not have achieved the qualifying
time standards. The meet referee shall have the authority to accommodate the
swimmer without substantial negative impact on the timeline. Swimmers are
requested to notify meet management if any special arrangements are required.

In Championship level meets, swimmers will be accepted if they have achieved
the United States Swimming Disability Championship time standard.

Accommodations for swimmers with a disability may be, but not limited to:

a. allow swimmer to enter a longer distance event but compete at the shorter
distance – such as a 50 (100) meter distance within a 100 (200) event provided
that their time is equal or faster that the longer distance qualifying time.

b. allow swimmer to be seeded with comparable times not age groups – such as a
senior swimmer in an 11-12 or 13-14 age group.

c. any awards must be earned in their respective event and age group.
