This research is focused on examining the levels of motivation for success of visually impaired athletes participating in Turkish Visually Impaired Swimming Championship in terms of various variables. The "Personal Information Form" developed by researchers and "Sports Specific Motivation for Success" scale developed by Wills and adapted into Turkish by Tiryaki and Gödelek in 1997 were used to determine participants' sports specific motivation for success. Participants' sport specific motivation levels for success were compared in terms of age, gender, education and perceived economic status, sports year, and time of disability. The target group of the research consisted of a total of visually impaired 94 athletes, (35 women and 59 men) participating in the "Turkish Visually Impaired Swimming Championship" organized by the Visually Impaired Federation in Turkey in 2017, in the province of Alanya. The sample group consisted of 74 participants in total, (27 women and 47 men) participating voluntarily. Data obtained from the study were analyzed with SPSS 22.0 statistical packaged software. Findings were obtained by applying Anova to data with normal distribution, and applying Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests to data without normal distribution (p<0.005) According to the findings obtained, it was determined that participants' sports specific motivation levels for success did not differ significantly in terms of gender, educational status, perceived income, age and time of disability. On the other hand, there was a significant difference between the level of motivation for closeness to success and age groups. According to the difference obtained, participants in the age range of 11-15 years were found to have a higher motivation for closeness to the success than participants in the age range of 16-20 group and participants in the age range of 16-20 years were found to have a higher motivation for closeness to the success than participants in the age range of 11-15, 21-25 and over 25. As a conclusion, it can be said that there was not a significant difference between the sports specific motivation levels for success and the research variables in terms of the participants of the research, while the participants of 16-20 age group had a higher motivation for closeness to the success

On the other hand, there was a significant difference between the level of motivation for proximity to success and age groups. According to the difference obtained, participants in the age range of 11-15 years were found to have a higher motivation for close to success than participants in the age range of 16-20 groups and participants in the age range of 16-20 years were found to have a higher motivation for close to success than participants in the age range of 11-15, 21-25 and over 25. As a conclusion, it can be said that there was no significant difference between the sports specific motivation levels for success and the research variables in terms of the participants of the research, while the participants of the 16-20 age group had a higher motivation for proximity to the success.
