Swimming Training Programs for Students of Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

Topicality. The generalization of scientific papers provides basis for identifying clear priorities of the students` Physical Education (PE). Within the perspectives and increase of practical significance of work, it is necessary to develop certain methodical provisions of swimming training programs for students of higher education institutions (HEI) in the process of PE and to conduct their experimental verification. The Purpose of the Research is to characterize a complex of interdependent and consistent swimming training programs for students of higher education institutions in the educational process of PE. Stuff and Methods of the Research. Theoretical analysis and generalization, study of documentary papers, method of system analysis, historical and logical methods have been used during the study. The Research Results. Swimming training programs within the PE for students of HEI involves the creation and implementation of educational process programs (algorithms) those consistently solve specific issues of increasing complexity, as well as the basic PE tasks of HEI. Swimming training programs with the individual trajectory of setting and achieving goals solve problems and provide the optimal way from one to the next level of students` swimming training. There have been identified four interconnected individual and motivational levels that provide the consistent (independent) implementation of swimming training programs for students of HEI within the PE. During the first swimming training level, students without existing swimming skills have a high fear level of water, during the second they have a low level of water and cannot swim, the third level is characterized by the students` certain skills of swimming in any style. And to the fourth – students have not only the swimming skills but a desire to engage and improve technique in the future. Conclusion. For the first time through the prism of the educational programs on PE, theoretical and methodical foundations of University students` swimming trainings, there was characterized a complex of interdependent and consistent programs that allow logically combine tasks for different individual motivational levels.
