What is a Unified Partner?
A Unified Partner is a volunteer athlete who helps assist in the water, out of the water, and during competitions to meet the needs of the team. Unified partners are invited to participate in relay events at Regional and State Meets. Unified Partners must be at least 12 years of age OR have the permission of coaches to volunteer and swim with the team. All Unified Partners must be able to swim at a level 4 swim ability, which means they can swim 50 yards Front Crawl, 50 yards Back Crawl, 25 yards Breaststroke, and know the components of Butterfly. Unified Partners are responsible and caring. 

Unified Partners compete alongside Special Olympics athletes. Training together and playing together becomes a quick path to friendship and understanding. Interested in becoming a Unified Partner? Fill out this form.
