Our two Technical Advisors are available to help answer swim training questions from families, coaches and swimmers.
Our dream is to have a “Coaches Network” that connects coaches from all over the USA to share ideas about how to best support their T21 Swim Warrior.
We hosted a USADSS National Training Camp in February 2022! It provided the JOY IN THE JOURNEY that we all needed.
We hosted a dual sanctioned SCM swimming meet - “Journeys Classic” after the camp. We hope this will be an annual event.
We celebrate the personal achievements of our T21 Swim Warriors, and the inclusive swim communities that support them.
Our athlete ZOOM calls kept T21 Swim Warriors focused on their goals and developed camaraderie during the lockdown of 2020.
We promote regional swimming “adventures” for the USADSS community to connect at established swim meets.
As the registered National Sports Organization for (DSISO), USADSS will select the USA’s National Down Syndrome Swimming and Artistic Team for DSISO regional and world championships. Qualifying times and other selection criteria may apply.
By joining both USADSS and DSISO: The Down Syndrome International Swimming Organization, your USA athlete will be eligible for international Down syndrome swim records. All international meets and records are in metered pools (Short Course Meters, SCM or Long Course Meters, LCM). The records database includes: Open Division, Junior Division (16 and under), Senior Division (17-24), Masters 1 Division (25-34) and Masters 2 Division (35+ years).
We advocate for inclusion in competitive swimming by developing relationships with influencers in the swimming and Down syndrome community.
This non-profit is 100% volunteer run. We are a passionate group, proud of our athletes and hopeful for the future.
