Swimming at SLIIT
Swimming at SLIIT is more than a sport—it’s a journey of self-growth, resilience, and community. Open to both men and women, the team trains competitively under expert coaches. While current practices cater to experienced swimmers, a beginner program is being considered to support newcomers eager to develop their skills. SLIIT has a Top-ranked non-state university swimming team with us.

From my very first international experience at the 2021 Asian Youth Para Games in Bahrain where I was honored to win three gold medals and one silver, my journey in para-swimming has been both challenging and rewarding.
I remain humbled by the support and encouragement from SLIIT, which drives me to push my limits. Earning a silver medal at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Para Games further reinforced my belief in myself and my hard work. I am deeply thankful for SLLIT for every opportunity to learn and improve, and I continue to strive for excellence in what I do.
