残奥会帆船比赛的运动员分级工作由国际残疾人帆船协会(IFDS)任命的分级委员会进行。根据可能会对运动员在驾驶帆船中所需要的功能和技巧造成明显限制的特殊障碍，把运动员们分成不同的级别。这些功能和技巧包括平衡和身体稳定性、手部功能、上肢的功能和运动幅度以及视觉灵敏度。

Shooting 射击

Shooting competitions are divided into two major events: Air Rifle and Pistol competitions at three distance: 10, 25 and 50m. The rules depend on the gun, the distance, the target, the shooting position, the number of shots and the time limit. Competitors accumulate points for the value of their shots.

比赛分男子组、女子组和混合组，选手分别参加手枪和步枪的比赛。手枪分为10米、25米和50米项目，每个小项都采用电子靶。射击比赛的规则因为分项、射程、射击位置、子弹的数量、发射规定时间、靶子和枪的种类不同而不同。在成绩相同的情况下，采用专门规则来决定胜负。残奥会射击比赛规定步枪包括瞄准器的重量不得超过6公斤，轮椅、凳子、椅子、坐席等统称为"射击椅"。

Swimming 游泳

A FINA standard eight-lane 50m pool is required for competition at the Paralympic Games. Events are conducted as heats for eight competitors per class and with the fastest eight swimmers per class competing in the finals. There are various forms for swimmers to start their race; in the water, a dive start sitting on the starting platform or the typical standing start.

由于身体障碍的限制，残疾人游泳比赛的规则以及竞赛组织都有相应的特殊规定和服务要求。

赛场工作人员只能单独协助运动员完成出入水动作，而不可进行口头交流。对于有视觉障碍的运动员按要求可在个人比赛和接力比赛中有一名工作人员对其进行引导。例如：允许其在总裁判长发出长哨后，发令员发出“各就各位”口令前，由引导员帮助确定方向。全盲运动员比赛过程中接近池壁时，由引导员利用提示棒（竹竿一端绑上海绵）敲击运动员背部提示。

残疾人游泳比赛的自由泳、蛙泳、蝶泳和个人混合泳比赛均采用跳台入水，仰泳和混合泳接力在水中出发。

坐式排球是一项集体比赛项目，每队由12名队员组成，两队各派6名队员在由球网分开的场地上进行比赛。比赛的目的是各队遵照规则，将球击过球网，使其落在对方场区的地面上，而防止球落在本方场区的地面上。每队可击球三次（拦网触球除外），将球击回对区。坐式排球比赛采用五局三胜制，胜三局的队胜一场。
