The National Paralympic Committee has officially inaugurated its first-ever Para Swimming Federation, marking a historic step towards promoting inclusivity and empowering athletes with disabilities in aquatic sports.

The launch was spearheaded by the President of the National Paralympic Committee, Samson Deen, during a landmark ceremony held on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.

This new federation is tasked with developing, regulating, and promoting para swimming activities across the country, providing athletes with physical impairments the opportunity to compete on national and international stages, including the Paralympic Games.

The establishment of the Ghana Para Swimming Federation is expected to encourage greater participation from individuals with disabilities and support talent development in para sports.
