Abstract

Objective of the study is to develop and prove a methodology in which taking into account the individual characteristics of the student's characteristics and assessing the students' predisposition to a certain swimming style will impressively reduce the time of mastering the general swimming skill.

Methods and structure of the study. Included a 5-week pedagogical experiment with the participation of 36 students divided into control (CG) and experimental (EG) groups. In the experimental group, the swimming style was appointed individually on the basis of diagnostics using a special set of exercises.

Results of the study and discussion. The study showed a statistically significant superiority of EG. The indicator of successful development of the distance of 25 metres in the EG was 1.9 times higher than in the KG; the EG test subjects had a higher technique of performing basic swimming skills. A differentiated approach to primary swimming training, based on early detection of individual predisposition, has proven to be effective, allowing to optimise time costs and improve the quality of the formation of sustainable motor skills in students.
