Sažetak
Two experimental swimming instruction programmes were drawn up and compared with an established swimming programme at a swimming school in Ljubljana. The programmes of the experimental group differed from that of the control group in content whereas the experimental programmes differed in the duration of swimming instruction. The study included 370 pupils aged 8 to 9 years. To prove our presuppositions, a pedagogic experiment was carried out, in which each group had its own prescribed swimming instruction programme. The group and gender differences in swimming skills were analysed by means of Pearson’s c2 test. The results showed that significant statistical differences were present in the final swimming skills of the test subjects who were included in the different programmes. Statistically, there were significant differences in the final swimming skills of the test subjects from the control group and those of the experimental groups, whereas no significant statistical differences were observed in the two experimental groups despite the different duration of the programmes. The comparison of the swimming skills regarding gender also showed significant statistical differences in the structure of marks given to boys and girls. We anticipate that almost optimal conditions for swimming skills acquisition for this age group were met by means of this experimental programme. However, the programme had a greater effect on boys than on girls.
