Acquisition, through exercises in the pool, of the technique of the four swimming styles (crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and dolphin). Technical-didactic analysis of the four styles and their relative starts and turns.

The course, entirely structured in the pool, will analyze on a technical and educational level the study of swimming styles and their starts and turns. Differences between terrestrial and aquatic environments. Acquisition of aquatic motor patterns. Proposals for global and sector-specific analytical exercises.

- (knowledge and understanding): The student must be able to understand the specific terminology of aquatic disciplines, to understand the fundamental differences in the phases of motor development and to understand the specificity of aquatic motor patterns.

- (applying knowledge and understanding): Furthermore, they must be able to apply this knowledge in the practical field by designing motor proposals taking into account the age of the subject being referred to, the characteristics of what needs to be learned and the specific situations in which a specific motor task must be proposed.

- (making judgements) The student must be able to propose and apply working methodologies in an autonomous and original way.

- (communication skills): The student must have the ability to communicate their knowledge in the aquatic field correctly and specifically.

- (learning skills). They must be able to find information and knowledge independently using classroom experiences and publications relating to the discipline.

Frontal lessons. 

Innovative teaching methods

The course includes:

• Frontal lessons;
• debate on the topics;
• simulations of scenarios that can occur in the tank.
• Flipped classroom

Attendance

Mandatory minimum attendance: 2/3 of the lessons to be able to access the practical laboratory exam. It is specified that attendance means participation in the pool.

Assessment

Technical test of the four styles and their respective turns:

• 25 meters per crawl;

• 25 meters breaststroke;
• 25 meters butterfly.

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.
