Eligibility Applications – Sport Inclusion Australia

Sports Inclusion Australia will assign an II classification and send a classification card to the applicant.

Sports Inclusions Australia will share this information with Swimming Australia. Swimming Australia will assign S, SB, and SM swimming classifications automatically.

 

Sports Inclusion Classification Equivalent Swimming Australia Classification
