SUMMARY:PANATHLON DISABILITY / SEND SWIMMING COMPETITION
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite all affiliated schools to take part in the Gloucester Schools’ SEND Panathlon Swim Competition. \nThe event will be held at Sir Thomas Rich’s School (GL2 0LF) from 10:00 am to 11:30 am. Schools should arrive between 9:30 am and 9:45 am to allow sufficient time for changing. Please do not arrive before 9:30 am\, as this coincides with the school’s busy morning arrival. \nTHE TEAMS\nThis competition is open to KS2 pupils with SEND. \nTeams should consist of 6–8 pupils of mixed gender with cognitive and/or physical disabilities. \nEVENT LEAD\nThe competition will be delivered by the Panathlon Foundation in partnership with the Gloucester School Sport Network (GSSN). Panathlon organises inclusive sporting events across the country\, providing opportunities for young people with SEND to enjoy competitive sport. \nEVENT FORMAT\nAll participants must be able to swim 10 metres\, with or without swimming aids. At the start of the competition\, each swimmer will be allocated points based on their disability to ensure fair competition. \nEach team must include two swimmers who can swim 25 metres unaided. All races are mixed in age\, gender and disability\, and trained leaders will be in the water to support participants where required. \nEvery competitor will receive a participation certificate and medal. Panathlon team medals will be awarded to the top three teams: \n🥇 Gold – 1st Place\n🥈 Silver – 2nd Place\n🥉 Bronze – 3rd Place \nSEND events are specifically designed for pupils with SEND who do not usually have the opportunity to represent their school in sport. Schools are therefore asked to select pupils who do not regularly compete in mainstream school sports\, ensuring the event remains inclusive and provides opportunities for those who would not normally take part. \nTo register your school’s attendance\, please email bh@gssn.co.uk.
