Sport Classes S/SB14 - intellectual impairment
S14 swimmers have an intellectual impairment, which typically leads to the athletes having difficulties with regards to pattern recognition, sequencing, and memory, or having a slower reaction time, which impact on sport performance in general.

Para Brahman or Param Brahman (Sanskrit: परब्रह्म, romanized: parabrahma) in Hindu philosophy is the "Supreme Brahman" that which is beyond all descriptions and conceptualisations. It is described as the formlessness (in the sense that it is devoid of Maya) that eternally pervades everything, everywhere in the universe and whatever is beyond.[1]
Para Brahman is conceptualised in diverse ways. In the Advaita Vedanta tradition, the Para Brahman is a synonym of nirguna brahman, i.e., the attribute-less Absolute. Conversely, in Dvaita Vedanta and Vishistadvaita Vedanta traditions, the Para Brahman is defined as saguna brahman, i.e., the Absolute with attributes. In Vaishnavism, Shaivism, and Shaktism, Vishnu, Shiva, and Adi Shakti respectively are Para Brahman.[2] Mahaganapati is considered as Para Brahman by the Ganapatya sect. Kartikeya is considered as Para Brahman by the Kaumaram sect.
Brahman in Hinduism connotes the Absolute, the Ultimate Reality in the universe.[4][5] In major schools of Hindu philosophy it is the immaterial, efficient, formal and final cause of all that exists.[5][6] Brahman is a key concept found in the Vedas and is extensively discussed in the early Upanishads[7] and in Advaita Vedanta literature.[8]
In Advaita Vedanta, the Para Brahman is defined as nirguna brahman, or Brahman without form or qualities.[9][10][11] It is a state of complete knowledge of self as being identical with the transcendental Brahman, a state of mental-spiritual enlightenment (Jnana yoga).[12] It contrasts with Saguna Brahman which is a state of loving awareness (Bhakti yoga).[12] Advaita Vedanta non-dualistically holds that Brahman is divine, the Divine is Brahman, and this is identical to that which is Atman (one's soul, innermost self) and nirguna (attribute-less), infinite, love, truth, knowledge, "being-consciousness-bliss".[13]
According to Eliot Deutsch, Nirguna Brahman is a "state of being"[14] in which all dualistic distinctions between one's own soul and Brahman are obliterated and are overcome.[12] In contrast, Saguna Brahman is where the distinctions are harmonized after duality between one's own soul and Brahman has been accepted.[12]
Advaita describes the features of a nondualistic experience,[12] in which a subjective experience also becomes an "object" of knowledge and a phenomenal reality. The Absolute Truth is both subject and object, so there is no qualitative difference:
In Vaishnavism, Vishnu is considered to be Para Brahman, especially in his form of Mahavishnu.[16] He is also depicted as the Paramatman, according to the Narayana Sukta in the Yajurveda.[17]
The Mahabharata describes Vishnu to be the Para Brahman, and is also identified with both purusha and prakriti.[18] In the Bhagavata Purana, Krishna is described to be Para Brahman.[19]
In Shaivism, Shiva is regarded to be Para Brahman, especially in his form of Parashiva, the supreme form of Shiva.[20] According to the Shiva Purana, Shiva is described to be the only deity to possess both nirguna and saguna attributes, causing him to be the only one worthy of the epithet Ishvara.[21]
In Shaktism, Adi Parashakti is considered to be the Para Brahman both with and without qualities, and also Brahman in its energetic state, the ultimate reality. According to the Devi Suktam and Sri Suktam in the Rigveda she is the womb of all creation. Thus Mahakali's epithet is Brahmamayi, meaning "She Whose Essence is Brahman". Tridevi is the supreme form of Adi Parashakti. Her eternal abode is called Manidvipa.[22]
Mahā Kāli's own form is referred to as Para Brahman (parabrahmasvarūpiṇī) in the Devyāgama and different Tantra Shastras. She is also variously referred to as Soul of the universe, Paramatman, Bīja and Nirguna.[28]
Classification is a process where certified Para Surfing Classifiers assess the strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination of competitive adaptive surfers in order to group the athletes with permanent impairments into one of the nine Para Surfing Sport Classes.
The classification goal is to accurately allocate the athlete into their best surf class to ensure high competition and a more leveled playing field to minimize the impact of impairments on the sport performance.
Approved underlying health conditions or medical diagnoses include, but are not limited to, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, strokes, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, short stature, congenital limb deficiencies, leg length differences, amputations, and vision impairments.
The 10 Paralympic eligible impairments are impaired passive range of motion, impaired muscle power, limb deficiency, leg length difference, short stature, hypertonia, ataxia, athetosis, vision, and intellectual impairment. At this time, intellectual impairment is not used in Para Surfing.
ISA is hosting Classifier Training for new Para Surfing classifiers in 2023. Each eligible candidate will need to participate in four online theory training sessions (late March/early April) and one in-person practical training held during 2023 (see below schedule). Both the online theory training and the in-person practical training must be completed in 2023.
To be eligible, one must be an occupational therapist, physical therapist, or medical doctor; not be tied to a team or athlete as a personal trainer or therapist; speak English; and have a solid understanding of physical rehabilitation and surfing.
Athletes who are interested in competing at national and international events must be classified into a Para Surfing Sport Class by a certified International ISA Para Surfing Classifier. Athletes must follow Steps 1-7 first and then they will be eligible for Step 8 which is to attend a classification assessment.
Step 1: Download the Medical Diagnostics Form (MDF) and have your medical or healthcare provider fill out the front and back of the form along with their signature. The MDF is to be completed in English.
Step 7: After the Head of Classification is satisfied with and approves your uploaded documents, you will be notified of your eligibility to be officially classified. Prepare yourself to come 1-2 days earlier than the dates of the next surf contest where there will be official ISA Para Surfing International Classifiers. Classification usually takes place 1-2 days prior to the start of an event.
Step 8: Attend a Classification Assessment by a Para Surfing Certified Classifier*. You can expect a panel of 2 classifiers for national classification or 2 panels of 2 classifiers for international classification.
Once officially classified with a Confirmed status, an athlete does not need to be reclassified until there is a change of status in the athlete or a change in the rules and regulations, for example, a change in the Minimal Impairment Criteria.
If the athlete is classified with a Review status, the athlete will need to be reclassified in the year that is stated, for example, if the athlete was classified with a Review Status 2021, that athlete will need to be reclassified in the year 2021.
Classification sessions typically are conducted 1-2 days before the start of a surf event and take about 20-30 minutes per classification session. Athletes are given an appointment that will provide date, time range, and location of classification in advance.
All Athletes are permitted to have one person accompany them to their classification appointment. If an Athlete is under the age of 18 years old, another person is required to accompany the minor Athlete to the classification appointment. If the Athlete does not speak English, it is recommended that the person they bring can translate to the Athlete.
