研究者擔任身障福利協進會志工10多年，察覺到身障協會會員們的運動需求以及小兒麻痺會員大多參與協會所辦理的游泳隊活動，因此激發起此一論文研究主題的興趣。主要的文獻依據分別為身心障礙者公約、活躍社會參與理論和小兒麻痺者休閒活動相關研究。
研究目的：
1. 描繪小兒麻痺者的生命歷程中參與休閒活動的經歷
2. 探討小兒麻痺者以游泳做為休閒活動的主要因素以及持續以游泳為休閒活動的原因
3. 深入探討游泳運動如何增強小兒麻痺者自我概念及社會適應。
研究方法：本研究以質性研究，針對四位參與游泳隊的小兒麻痺者進行深度訪談法和參與觀察法。
研究結果:
1. 對於小兒痲痺者而言，在他們幼小的時候，休閒活動機會是被排除的。
2. 小兒痲痺者因為有休閒需求，因此加入游泳隊，游泳不止是一種有效的復健和運動的方式，而且促進他們積極參與社會活動，拓展人際關係。
3. 受訪者希望政府可以重視游泳設備中的無障礙設施，並且在游泳的費用上給與優待或補助
結論: 對於身障者的照顧是彰顯人權保障的一種方式，就本研究而言，小兒麻痺者加入游泳隊活動具有多重正向的意義，游泳運動促進了個人身心的健康也發展了個人社會技巧。如何使台灣更多的小兒麻痺者更積極地參加游泳休閒的活動，是我們大家一致的目標和努力的方向。
The researcher has served as volunteers for Taichung Welfare Promotion Association for the Disabled for more than 10 years. She has noticed the sports needs of the members as well as most of the members of the polio participate in the swimming team activities handled by the association. Therefore, it stimulated the interest in the subject of this study. The main literature is based on studies of the Convention on the Physically-impaired, and Polio Leisure Activities.
Research purposes:
1. Describe the experiences of participating in leisure activities in the life course of polio.
2. Discuss the main factors of swimming as a leisure activity for polio patients and the reasons for continuing to use swimming as a leisure activity.
3. Explore in depth how swimming can enhance their self-concept and social participation of polio
Research Methods:
In this study, qualitative interviews were conducted for four poliomyelitis participants participating in the swimming team.
Research findings:
1. For polio, the chances of leisure activities are excluded when they are young.
2. Polio persons join the swimming team because of their leisure needs. Swimming is not only an effective way to rehabilitate and exercise, but also promotes their active participation in social activities and the expansion of interpersonal relationships.
3. Respondents hope that the government can pay attention to the barrier-free facilities in swimming equipment and give preferential treatment or subsidies to the cost of swimming.
Conclusion:
Caring for people with disabilities is a way to demonstrate human rights protection. For the purposes of this study, the involvement of polio in swimming teams has multiple positive implications. Swimming has promoted the physical and mental health of individuals and developed personal social skills. How to make more poliomyelitis in Taiwan participate more actively in swimming and leisure activities is our common goal and the direction of our efforts.
