The teaching of front crawl by using the body rotation in children

Title: Teaching Primary School Children Front Crawl by Using Body Rotation Objectives: The goal of the thesis is teaching primary school children the front crawl swimming technique by using the body rotation. The specific goal of the thesis is that children should swim 25 m by using the front crawl swimming technique with breathing on one chosen side. Methods: This work is mainly descriptive. It is a multi-case study. In our work we used both methods - standardized and non-standardized. Methods were applied to a group of children of the age from six to nine years - before, during and after the swimming lessons. And then the methods were analyzed qualitatively by the researcher. Results: The teaching of the front crawl swimming technique by using body rotation was successful. All the children improved the level of their front crawl swimming technique performance. During the final testing eight out of the eleven children swam 25-meter by using the front crawl technique with breathing on one chosen side, so eight out of the eleven children fulfilled the main goal of this work.
