SPORTS CLUB BG AND SPORTS FOR ALL (BGSA)

Sports club BG & SPORTS FOR ALL, has been created to offer and help to all kids and adults with special needs, disabilities, or social limitations to participate in swimming sports activities together with non-disable. The club has been working for 2 years in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, and it is situated in two swimming pools. They develop individual and group swimming lessons and successfully implement the inclusion of the kids with disabilities to swim in the same groups as non-disabled kids, to collaborate, and to learn from each other.

They prepare regular and special club competitions between the kids, separated into groups depending on their swimming levels and capabilities. They also develop summer swimming camps which are open to kids with disabilities and their families. They use this tool to create a teamwork field and friendships between the kids and their families. They successfully include the parents in the sport’s lessons and increase the limits of their capability and knowledge.
