Paralympic Swimming

Swimming at the 1960 Summer Paralympics consisted of 62 events, 32 for men and 30 for women.

There were between one and three competitors for each race, meaning that every swimmer completing a race was guaranteed a medal. All swimmers successfully completed their races, and every swimmer at the Games therefore obtained a medal.[1]
