The purpose of this study is to know the wellness and social support in swimmers with visual impairment. The instrument has been an own made questionnaire with three sections: degree of influence of the society at first steps of start swimming; reasons for satisfaction when swimming; feeling at this stage of life.
The results show that athletes have a high wellness state, significantly influenced by their usual practice of physical activity. The main reasons for attracting and maintaining sport practice are “fun” and “represent a province, community and country”. Influences to start swimming are more individual than external, “desire to improve” and “own beliefs”, being below “institutions for disabled”.Downloads
