A Swim Miami Mile took place on May 5 at the Miami Marine Stadium in Florida. The event was organized in conjunction with the three-day 2019 U.S. Open Water Swimming Championships running concurrently at the same venue. As the nearly 400 competitors began their races with the Miami skyline in sight, 10 Special Olympics athletes and their “Unified Partners” entered the water as one of the “waves” (similar to heats in pool races).
In Unified Sports, athletes participate in open water swims (usually a mile long) alongside a “partner.” Swimmers race side-by-side, and upon completion with medals wrapped around their necks, share their victories together.
According to Special Olympics, “Unified Sports was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding for athletes with and without intellectual disabilities.”
Within this environment, the merging of athletes helps to create relationships and promote inclusion. – Molly Griswold
