Abstract

J-GLOBAL ID : 202001004156798454Swimming is an area of physical activity required in elementary and secondary schools. However, in the special environment of water, which is different from land, many children have breathing restrictions, poor visibility, aversion to splashing, and anxiety about an unfixed support point. This study investigated the effects of rhythm swimming which is known to be effective in broadening the enjoyment of swimming, to see what effect it would have on the children. 94.34％ of the respondents indicated that rhythm swimming was more enjoyable than regular swimming lessons. 86.79％ said they liked swimming more than before, and the responses showed the positive effects of rhythm swimming. Rhythm swimming is a new aspect of swimming, and its effective use has the potential to dispel the fear of swimming.1520297128945129856application/pdfdepartmental bulletin pape
