Abstract
Studies carried out indicate that people with disabilities face several obstacles to the practice of
physical activity, where the absence of adequate programs their needs act as the main point. The
present study aims to analyze the offer and involvement of people with disabilities in swimming
programs, identifying and characterizing the types of existing programs. The work has descriptivequantitative character with application of closed questionnaire in places that offer swimming programs
in the cities of Limeira, Jundiaí, Itu and Campinas. 62 places of practice of the sports modality
accredited to the Regional Council of Physical Education were selected and contacted by telephone.
The applied questionnaire had as objective to identify places that offered the modality for students
with deficiency, as well as characterization of the programs. As a result, 52% of the institutions did not
attend disabled students in their programs. The availability of practice sites is still a major obstacle for
the involvement of this population with the practice of the modality.
