Special Olympics Taupo
supported by Volunteer Great Lake Taupō
Our purpose is to enrich the lives of people with an intellectual disability through sport. We provide quality year-round training and competition in a variety of sports for all children and adults with an intellectual disability – currently swimming and tenpin bowling. This gives those athletes opportunity to develop physical fitness, gain improved strength, coordination, and balance in a safe environment. Athletes participate in sharing life skills and further develop communication skills to develop friendships with other athletes and the community.
