SUMMARY:AUG 2026 U.S. Para Swim Calendar: Para Pan Pacific Championships (Location TBA)
DESCRIPTION:Note that Athletes Without Limits provides Class S14 (Intellectual Impairment) National reviews for U.S. Paralympics for this event\, but is not otherwise involved in organizing U.S. Paralympics meets or team trips like we do for Virtus events. Interested athletes should complete eligibility with Athletes Without Limits\, but otherwise should register directly for Paralympic meets\, and travel with their home team/coach or individually to participate.\nTHE INFORMATION BELOW IS FOR SWIMMERS WITH\nINTELLECTUAL IMPAIRMENT (S14 Class) \nSanctioned by U.S. Paralympic Swimming \nThis is an International meet on US soil so full Virtus II1 International Level Eligibility is needed to compete in the S14 Class for Intellectual Disability. \nEvent Date: August 28-30\, 2026 \nEvent Location in US: To Be Announced \nEvent Webpage: https://www.usparaswimming.org/competitions \nRegistration: Swimmers should register directly with the event organizers (individually or as part of their home team) using the link on the event’s website. \nEligibility Criteria: Paralympic meets are open to swimmers with a physical impairment\, visual impairment\, or Class S14 intellectual impairment (Note that Class S14 is only open to athletes with Virtus II1 and II2 eligibility — Virtus II3 are not eligible for Paralympics). \nTime Standards: There may be time standards for some events\, check the meet packet PDF for details. (Typically events with “Open” in their name do not have qualification time standards.) \nClassification Deadline for New S14 Swimmers: Note that National classification ‘appointments’ offered at US Paralympics events are only for athletes with physical or visual impairment. Athletes with Intellectual Impairment should complete AWL-Virtus Eligibility Application and submit (along with photoID\, IQ and Adaptive Behavior assessments) to Athletes Without Limits at least 3 month prior to events like this that require full International level eligibility.\nAWL will inform U.S. Paralympics of new swimmers who have completed National S14 eligibility for Classification and when they’ve been confirmed Internationally. \nCriteria for Intellectual Impairment S14 Class: Athletes with Intellectual Impairment (Autism\, Down Syndrome & Intellectual Disability with IQ of 75 or lower) should complete Athletes Without Limits Virtus Eligiblity application in lieu of a classification appointment. Swimmers who meet the Virtus II1/Paralympic S14 eligibility criteria below are eligible to compete in Paralympic-sanctioned swim meets: \n\nIQ Assessment showing IQ of 75 or lower\,\nAdaptive Behavior Assessment showing significant limitation in at least one domain area\, and\nOnset before age 22\n\nSpecial note to swimmers with Autism: Athletes with Autism must have an IQ of 75 or lower to be eligible for Paralympic S14 swimming. This is different from AWL trips to Virtus-sanctioned meets\, which offer an additional competition group for those with Autism and an IQ of 76 or higher (called Virtus II3) – so we encourage you to apply for eligibility for Virtus events! \nSpecial note to swimmers with Down Syndrome: The Paralympic S14 class is only open to athletes who meet the Virtus II1 Criteria for Intellectual Disability\, which is based on IQ and Adaptive Scores. This is different from AWL trips to Virtus-sanctioned meets which offer a separate competition group specifically for athletes with Down Syndrome (called Virtus II2). Therefore swimmers with Down Syndrome should apply for dual eligibility in the Virtus II1 group (based on IQ and Adaptive Scores) in order to be classified for Paralympics swimming and the Virtus II2 group (based on Cytogenetic Report showing Down Syndrome) for Virtus events. \n  \n
