Swimming at the 1960 Summer Paralympics consisted of 62 events, 32 for men and 30 for women.

Each race had no more than three competitors so every swimmer completing a race was guaranteed a medal. All the swimmers successfully completed their races, and every swimmer at the Games therefore earned a medal.[http://www.paralympic.org/Sport/Results/search.html?games=1960PG&gender=all&medal=all&npc=all&sport=20 Swimming at the 1960 Summer Paralympics], International Paralympic Committee
