Parents' Motivation For Choosing Swimming As A Sport Activity For Their Child
We have designed a questionnaire on parents' motivation for choosing swimming as a sport activity for their child. It has been completed by 108 parents of children attending swimming lessons in Osijek, Croatia. The research has been conducted in order to establish parents' motivation, their attitude towards swimming and by using χ2 test differences between mothers and fathers have been determined. The data indicate that a slightly bigger percentage of mothers take their children to swimming lessons and in most cases these mothers have two children. The biggest percentage have completed a four-year secondary education 42, 6 % and 32, 4 % have a university degree. The most common reason for choosing swimming is that a child likes it. 52, 8 % choose learning swimming because of child’s safety. According to them, swimming ensures keeping fit or health improvement (94, 4 %) and only a few choose it for maintaining or reducing child’s weight. Regarding differences between genders we have not noticed any statistically significant differences, only in two cases and in a small number of respondents (weight reduction and maintaining weight and fear of water).
