The Amir of Kuwait also established a Disabled Sports Club in 1977. Its aims are to integrate disabled persons into the society by giving them the opportunity to partake in sport, social, cultural, and other such activities. People of any nationality, both male and female, showing minimal disability are allowed to join the club. Types of sports practiced at the club are track and field, swimming, wheelchair basketball, fencing, and several other sports. Click Here for information on the Kuwaiti Paralympic Team.
Water sports are also very common in Kuwait.
Most Kuwaitis spend weekends in the warm seasons at the beach, either in one of the local private or public beach clubs, such as the SAS or Messila Hotel clubs, or at privately owned chalets or beach houses. Many Kuwaiti families own beach chalets of different styles and sizes up and down the coast and tend to use them as an escape on the weekends and holidays. Along with these beach trips comes a wide variety of water sports and recreation. Swimming, jet skiing, water skiing, fishing, and just cruising up and down on different sized boats is common for Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaitis, of all ages.
