Key Concept
Swimming- is the art or act of propelling the body through the water with the use of arms and
legs. It is an action that is consists of repeating a specific body motion or stroke
involving all significant parts for swimmers to move on the water surface.
People are terrestrial beings. They do not belong in the water. Their physical make-up: posture,
body temperature, breathing apparatus, shape and arrangement of arms and legs, specific
gravity, function, and everything is different from the aquatic mammal. But man’s curiosity and
dominant will, and marvelously adaptable brain and physical structure they learn to adapt
themselves in the water and also prompted them to develop forms of locomotion suited to
their needs in the new environment. They have found comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment in
the water. They also learn through experience that there are definite limitations or dangers
they might encounter in the aquatic environment. Swimming itself is as old as the human race.
The oldest form of swimming style is the “Dog Paddle” or Human Stroke. Survival was the main
reason why people manage to cross rivers, streams, and even lakes for ages.
Ancient Origin
¤ Greece – swimming and diving scenes are being sculptured in their ancient tomb dated back
2,500 years.
¤ Many of the ancient world civilizations, including the Egyptians, Persians, Romans, and Greeks,
had recognized swimming as a means of entertainment.
¤ Japan – they recognized swimming as a means of competition. It was being mentioned in their
early Japanese books that swimming races were held 2000 years ago.
¤ 1800’s – swimming as a sport started

Wading
Sounding
Drowning is suffocation in the water. When the water closes over the mouth and nose and
person is in such a position or condition that they cannot surface to breathe, drowning occurs.
Learning how to swim, knowing when and where to swim, and being prepared for the hazards
or danger of aquatic environment will equip a person with the significant defenses against
drowning and will enhance the enjoyment of the aquatic environment.

Course Outcome/s:
1. Demonstrate through land drills the kinds of floating, breathing pattern, body position, and
the different swimming strokes
Learning Outcomes:
Overview
Swimming takes a little coordination. You need to move your legs and arms in tandem, as well as
time your breathing and swimming strokes for maximum efficiency. Swimming skills also include
diving into the water to get a good, smooth start on your stroke. There are several skills you need
to know in order to swim.
The most basic and essential swimming skill is simply becoming comfortable in the water. Although
humans are born with innate water skills, many people develop a fear of the water. When
unintentional submersion occurs, panicking gets in the way of logical thinking and increases the
likelihood of drowning. Mastering these fundamental kills in swimming will help you enjoy the
benefits

• Water adjustment
Individuals must learn to relax in the water and get a feel for the resistance, and
buoyancy of
the water.
• Bobbing
The basic mechanics of bobbing is to inhale through your mouth while your face is
out of the water, submerge, exhale through your mouth and nose while you are under
the water.
Types of Bobbing
Explosive Bobbing
Mechanics
◦ Inhale through your mouth while your face is out of the water.
◦ Submerge
◦ Inhale through your mouth explosively while you are under the water.
Trickle Bobbing
Mechanics
◦ Inhale through your mouth while your face is out of the water.
◦ Submerge
◦ Inhale through your nose slowly while you are under the water.
o Floating
It is the ability to stay on or just below the water surface with certain parts of the
body above the water line.

Sculling
The arm moment known as “sculling” involves sweeping your forearms back and forth, moving
outwards from and back towards your body. This sets the foundation for any swimming stroke, for
treading water, for any sort of exercises or recreational swim that you might be doing during the
time of swimming. Sculling pretty much is a movement of palms and forearms that create propulsion
for you to stay on top of the water and also give you the feeling and the efficiency of the strokes.
¤ You can do sculling by going on your belly, keeping your face in the water, and having your
arms at a 90 degree angle, and having your palms rotate in and out of the water to help you
scull and propel through the water. You want to minimize any sort of movement that might
occur from your shoulders, or more from your arms, because then this is not becoming sculling,
it is becoming more of a stroke exercise.
¤ Sculling can also be done with your arms forward, in front of you, to move forwards or
backwards with your feet first, or with your head going forward.
¤ It can also be done with your arms at your sides to move your feet first, or your head forward.

Treading
Treading water is moving your limbs for the sole purpose of staying afloat and it is a basic
survival swimming skill. It's something you can learn even before you learn how to swim. Treading
water is also used frequently in aquatic sports like in water polo. Even if you're not the greatest
swimmer, you can build your stamina and learn how to tread water for extended periods of time
and increase strength throughout your body.
¤ Body position
This is a simple position; you are in a vertical position in the water. Water should be up to your
neck. Try not to go any lower. In trunk straight and while your legs are kicking, constantly
change position along with your arms.
¤ Arms
Your arm action should offer you support along with your legs. Your arms move in circular
motion level with your chest and bent, with palms facing down push down towards the bottom
of the pool towards your hips. Then bring back your arms by altering the angle of your hands
so that your thumb is coming up first. This enables you to cut through the water without causing
any drag. This is now repeated over and over again. The initial push down towards the bottom

¤ Treading water/Legs
This a simple leg kicking action, you can choose from four different leg kicks:
1. The breast stroke type leg action done in a vertically body position.
2. Cycling type action, this is what it implies. You simply pretend you are riding a bike. Legs
up and down one at a time.
3. Flutter kick, this is simply a front craw/backstroke leg action kicking your legs up and down
as if you are swimming the mentioned strokes.
4. Egg beater kick, this is simply kicking breast stroke legs but one at a time. Mostly
associated with Water Polo.
¤ Treading water/Practices
1. Slow Movements: When you first learning to tread water, you will get tired easily. You’ll
move your arms and legs quickly. It’s counterintuitive, but moving your arms and legs slowly
will support you better than moving them quickly. Have an experiment with speed.
(Basic Swimming)

3. Alternating movements: Work toward moving both legs at the same time. The rhythmic,
alternating movement of the legs means that when one foot is forward, the other foot is
back. This method of moving the legs is so efficient that it allows you to tread water without
using the arms at all.
4. Figure eight hands: Practice making figure 8’s with their hands, making their hands into
cups to maximize water resistance.
5. Minimal effort: Practice treading water with as little effort as possible. If you are breathing
hard, always try to slow down. Take as many breaks as necessary, and work toward the
point where you can tread water for five minutes without taking a break, touching the
bottom, or holding onto the side of the pool.
