Inclusion and Disability in Education and Sport

Research indicate that people with disabilitiy have lower levels of practice and involvement with physical activitiy when compared to people without disability.The sedentarism in this population is associated with the development of health problems secondary to the deficiency.However, people with disability face several obstacles to the practice of physical activity, where the absence of adequate programs act as the main point.The present study aims to analyze the inclusion of people with disability in swimming programs, identifying and characterizing the types of existing programs.The work has a descriptive-quantitative character with application of a closed questionnaire in places that offer swimming programs in the cities of Limeira, Jundiaí, Itu and Campinas.Altogether, 62 places of practice of the swimming registered to the Regional Council of Physical Education were selected and contacted by telephone.The structured questionnaire was used to identify places that offered the practice of the modality for students with disabilities, the age group attended, the number of students with disabilities, cost, characteristics of the classes (initiation, improvement or high performance), segregated or inclusive classes, and the number of professionals working in this population.As a result, 52% of the institutions did not attend to their programs students with disabilities, while 48% did not attend these students in their establishments.In this way, the offering of places of practice still proves to be an important obstacle for the involvement of this population with the practice of the modality.Among the students involved in swimming programs, 77% of these students participated in classes in inclusive classes.In addition, they were mostly in the beginning of the program (77%).
