Swimming at the 1960 Summer Paralympics consisted of 62 events, 32 for men and 30 for women.
Each race had no more than three competitors so every swimmer completing a race was guaranteed a medal. All the swimmers successfully completed their races, and every swimmer at the Games therefore earned a medal.[1]
