The more we compete, the better we get. Part of the strategic plan for Special Olympics aquatics is to drive more sport development at the local levels. Competition motivates athletes, coaches and the entire sport management team. Expand or add to your schedule as many competition opportunities as possible. We have provided a few suggestions below.
Host aquatics meets with adjacent local Programs.
Ask the local high school team if your athletes can compete with them at practice meets.
Join the local community aquatics league, club and/or associations.
Create your own aquatics league or club in your community.
Host weekly aquatics meets for the area.
Incorporate competition components at the end of every training session.
