Safety is the most important part of swimming for disabled athletes. Before starting any drills or activities, it is important to review and discuss the safety guidelines for swimming. This includes understanding the risks of swimming, how to stay safe in the water, and how to recognize and respond to an emergency situation.

Athletes should also be aware of the pool rules and regulations, such as the maximum number of people in the pool, the type of swimming attire allowed, and the importance of obeying the lifeguards. Additionally, athletes should be aware of the signs and signals used by the lifeguards, such as whistles and flags.

It is also important to review the proper use of safety equipment, such as lifejackets, kickboards, and fins. Athletes should understand the importance of using the right equipment for the activity and the proper way to use it.
