SWIMMING SCHOOL FOR NON-SWIMMERS IN THE SPORTS CLUB FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

S dugotrajnim stanjima organizma poput invaliditeta dolazi teret s kojim se treba nositi kroz cijeli život. Kod djece je to još više izraženije zbog brojnih ne mogućnosti s kojima se susreću u svakodnevnom životu. Voda omogućuje veću samostalnost, no predstavlja i veliku opasnost za djecu koja nemaju dobre vještine i znanje plivanja. Zato je potreban sve veći poticaj djece na školu plivanja, a posebice djece s teškoćama u razvoju. Osnovni cilj rada je utvrditi rezultate provedbe škole plivanja temeljem kojih se određuje kvaliteta samog programa. Glavni cilj programa poduke neplivača je osposobiti neplivače da samostalno preplivaju dvadeset i pet metara. Sekundarni cilj provedbe programa je zadržati što veći broj djece u plivačkim klubovima osoba s invaliditetom. Kroz program “Hrvatska pliva“ sudjelovalo je desetero djece, 8 dječaka i 2 djevojčice u rasponu od 4 do 17 godina s raznim oblicima invaliditeta čije je podatke dostavio Plivački klub “Forca“. Podatci su sadržavali informacije o dobi, spolu i invaliditetu bez osobnih podataka radi očuvanja identiteta. Invaliditeti polaznika su autizam, sindrom Down, cerebralna paraliza te tjelesno oštećenje. Kroz program provođena su mjerenja u obliku upitnika o senzomotorici, znanju plivanja i Halliwick procjeni. Osim toga, ispitano je i zadovoljstvo sa samim programom. Rezultati procjene senzomotorike nemaju statistički značajnu razliku između početnog i završnog mjerenja. Pretpostavlja se da je razlog tome nedovoljno vremena provedbe programa. Između inicijalne i finalne procjene znanja plivanja ustanovljena je statistička značajnost. Rezultati provedbe Halliwick procjene u svim varijablama bolji su na kraju programa naspram početnim mjerenjima. Učinkovitost Halliwick koncepta je neporeciva te rezultati ovog rada koreliraju s drugim istraživanjima o konceptu. Na kraju programa provedeno je interno vrednovanje čime je ustanovljeno da su polaznici i roditelji/skrbnici zadovoljni s radom trenera i izborom vježbi programa. Uzimajući u obzir sve navedene rezultate s sigurnošću se može reći kako su rezultati provedenog programa škole plivanja zadovoljavajući čime je i sam program “Hrvatska pliva“ djelotvoran.With long-term conditions of the body such as disability comes a burden that needs to be dealt with throughout life. In children, this is even more pronounced due to the many difficulties they encounter in everyday life. Water allows for greater independence, but it also poses a great danger to children who do not have good swimming skills and knowledge. That is why there is a growing need for children to go to swimming school, especially for children with disabilities. The main goal of this paper is to determine the results of the implementation of the swimming school, based on which the quality of the program itself is determined. The main goal of the non-swimmer training program is to enable non-swimmers to swim twenty-five meters on their own. The secondary goal of the implementation of the program is to keep as many children as possible in the swimming clubs of people with disabilities. Through the program "Swimming school for children with disabilities - training of non-swimmers" participated ten children, 8 boys and 2 girls ranging from 4 to 17 years, with various forms of disabilities whose data were provided by the Swimming Club "Forca". The data contained information on age, gender and disability without personal data in order to preserve identity. Participants' disabilities are autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and physical impairment. Through the program, measurements were conducted in the form of a questionnaire on sensorimotor skills, swimming knowledge and Halliwick assessment. In addition, satisfaction with the program itself was examined. The results of sensorimotor assessment do not have a statistically significant difference between the initial and final measurements. It is assumed that the reason for this is insufficient time to implement the program. Statistical significance was found between the initial and final assessment of swimming knowledge. The results of the Halliwick assessment in all variables are better at the end of the program compared to the initial measurements. The effectiveness of the Halliwick concept is undeniable and the results of this paper correlate with other research on the concept. At the end of the program, an internal evaluation was conducted, which established that the participants and parents / guardians were satisfied with the work of the trainers and the choice of program exercises. Taking into account all the above results, it can be said with certainty that the results of the implemented swimming school program are satisfactory, which makes the program "Swimming school for children with disabilities - training of non-swimmers" effective
