Model of work-the factor in swimming instruction effectiveness

The aim of the research was determine the effectiveness of particular models of teaching non-swimmers and compare the tested population of 201 children aged 9 to 11 years. The sample was divided into two subgroups in which the children were taught how to swim using the same program, but a variety of models. The first model (1) was a model of teaching non-swimmers in the summer school for a period of 14 days, while the other model (2) was implemented within the school program and lasted 6 days. The number of lessons for the swimming instruction for both groups was the same (20 lessons). To determine the effectiveness of these models a statistical software package STATISTICA was used. To compare the progress of the groups we used the Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Test, and for comparison between the groups Mann-Whitney U test P< 0.05. The research showed that both programs yielded significant progress but it was also established that type 1 instruction in which children were taught to swim during summer school was more successful. Both programs produce good results and are suitable for conducting swimming instruction. We recommend model 1, in which swimming instruction was completed during summer school. Model 2 of swimming instruction was conducted during school in nature and it was completed in only six days although the number of lessons was the same. Due to shorter span of the entire program, its implementation was less successful.
