Abstract

Abstract: Swimming is a sport discipline in which the movement is realised in the water with the help of the arms and legs. Their movement is coordinated with the breathing in the frame of the four swimming techniques. The specific motor skills of these techniques can be learnt by disabled children. Teacher must design detailed his/her activity which he/she will be done for having efficiency in all that he/she will teach. Purpose of studyThis paper is achieved and published under the aegis of the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Bucharest, as a partner of the programme co-funded by the European Social Fund within the Operational Sectorial Programme for Human Resources Development 2007-2013 through the project Pluri- and interdisciplinary in doctoral and post-doctoral programmes Project Code: POSDRU/159/1.5/S/141086, its main beneficiary being the Research Institute for Quality of Life, Romanian Academy. MainargumentThe design activity of the swimming lesson requests a series of questions which the teacher must answer. These questions help him/her to organize the content of teaching. The design activity of the swimming lesson is more difficult when the teacher works with disabled children. The teacher must take into account the disabilities which the children have and adapt the teaching content to the children's real possibilities. ConclusionsThe children with different disabilities can learn to swim. The teaching of the four swimming techniques request more patient and involvement from the teacher and more time for learning. The teaching design coordinates and organises all the teaching – learning process.
