Introduction: Swimming is one of the most popular sports practiced by people with disabilities, and the number of participants during the subsequent Paralympic Games (PG) increases. One way to assess the level of sports in a given discipline is to analyze the sports results of the athletes competing at the highest level. Hence, the purpose of analysis was to compare the results obtained by the athletes with locomotor disability in swimming in the starting class (1-10) on the PG in the years 2000-2012. Material and methods: Were analyzed the results obtained by men with locomotor disability in swimming all styles, on all distances during the PG in 2000-2012. To assess the significance of differences between the results obtained by the swimmers in the analyzed period the Mann-Whitney U test were used. The level of significance was set at p <0.05. Results: We observed statistically significant differences in the level (increase) of obtained results in all classes and styles, on distances played during the next PG. Throughout the 8 and 12 years, almost all differences were statistically significant. This direction of change was most evident in case of athletes from higher start classes (6-10). Conclusions: The results indicate a steady increase in the sports results of men with locomotor disability in swimming. It could be caused by much interest in this form of activity among people with disabilities, especially those with less functional deficit. Attention should be paid to increasing the share of the athletes from low-start classes (1-5).
