Swimming for People with Disabilities in Thessaloniki

The Swimming section of Aetoi Thessalonikis welcomes children, teenagers and adults with disabilities who want to swim, exercise and become members of a sports team. The section trains at the National Swimming Pool of Thessaloniki, and every session is adapted to the needs and pace of each athlete.

Who can join?

People of any age can join, provided they can use the pool independently. From there, we start from each athlete's level and gradually work on technique, breathing and endurance.

Why swimming?

Swimming is one of the most complete sports. In the water the body moves more freely, which makes it ideal for people with disabilities: it strengthens the muscles, improves breathing, balance and coordination, and offers a sense of freedom and relaxation. Training as a team builds self-confidence and friendships.

From taking part to competing

Athletes who wish to can move on to the competitive swimming section and take part in national competitions. Find out more on the page of our competitive swimming section.
