This sport is characterized by the interplay of wind, waves, and technique, requiring coordination and team spirit. In Switzerland, Sailing is offered exclusively as Unified Sports\u00ae.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Competition Format<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"margin-top:-12px;margin-bottom:-12px\">Of the five possible levels as per regulations, Levels 1 and 2 are currently mainly practiced in Switzerland. During training, Level 3 is even sailed in some instances.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2-person Unified Sports\u00ae crew: One athlete with a Unified Partner. <br\/>At Level 1, the athletes are responsible for handling the foresheets. <br\/>At Level 2, the athletes assume full responsibility for steering during the entire regatta from start to crossing the finish line. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The competitions usually consist of several regattas. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special Olympics Switzerland is also invited to international competitions and World Games. We forward invitations to international events to athletes and sports groups who are active with us.
