Discussion
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.
1.1 History of Swimming
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

¤ England 1837 – the first modern society and the English were the first people of modern
times to competitive swimming as a Sport.
¤ London – modern competitive swimming.
¤ 1896 –swimming was part of the first modern Olympic Games.
¤ 1908 –the formation of FINA (Federation Internationale De Natation Amateur) The
International Federation of Amateur Swimming.
¤ Our country, known as the Philippines Archipelago, is known for having so many bathing
beaches, lakes, and rivers that most children had learned to swim and paddle a Banca at an
early age. But on the other hand, there is a surprisingly large number of students who do
not know how to swim.
¤ According to Plato (a renowned politician and philosopher):
¤ “A man who did not know swimming must be an educated uneducated.”
¤ Anyone who could not swim lacked a proper education.
Classification of Swimming Strokes
A. Competitive swimming
¤ Freestyle
¤ Backstroke
¤ Breaststroke
¤ Butterfly
B. Survival Strokes

1.2 Swimming Terminologies
Buoyancy ➢ It is an upward force exerted by a fluid that

opposes the weight of a partially or wholly
immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure
increases with depth as a result of the weight
of the overlying fluid.
Streamline position ➢ It is mostly used at the start of the race once
a swimmer dives into the water off of the
blocks. Streamline position is the basis of the
spinal axis strokes, backstroke, and freestyle,
as well. A swimmer tries to maintain a straight
back and legs to minimize drag during the
stroke.

Propel
➢ To drive forward or onward by or as if using a

force that imparts motion.
Wading
➢ Walkthrough water or another liquid or soft

substance.
Sounding
➢ The action or process of measuring the depth

of the sea or other body of water.
1.3 Water Safety
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.
Swimming Safety Tips

¤ Learn to swim well enough to survive in an emergency
¤ Never swim alone and swim with a buddy who can help when necessary.
¤ Swim only in supervised areas.
¤ Thoroughly read, understand, and follow pool rules and regulations.
¤ Know your limitations, and do not overestimate your ability.
¤ Stay out of the water during an electrical storm.

¤ Dive only to known waters of sufficient depth.
¤ Always swim a safe distance away from diving boards and platforms.
¤ Do not swim after a full meal. Wait until 30 minutes or an hour before swimming.
¤ Do not swim if alcoholic drinks or prohibited drugs influence you.
¤ REMEMBER that an uncertified rescuer should never attempt a swimming rescue. A
swimmer untrained in lifesaving should swim to a victim in trouble only as a last resort and
when all suggested safe rescue methods cannot be used. If it is necessary to risk swimming
to a victim, the rescuer should take a towel, a skirt, or any buoyant object to extend to the
victim.
Major Causes of Drowning

¤ Failure to recognize hazardous conditions or practices.
¤ Inability to get out of dangerous situations.
¤ Lack of knowledge of safe ways in which to aid persons requiring assistance in the water.
Hygienic Rules
¤ Take a shower before entering the pool.
¤ Clean and wash your nose, ears, and eyes before actual pool contact.
¤ Never spit in the water.
¤ Blow your nose in the properly designated areas.
¤ Do not urinate in the water.
¤ Use clean and proper swimming attire.
¤ Swimmers with skin disease/athlete’s foot/open wounds are not allowed inside the pool for
the following reason:
o The water can have bacteria and affect other swimmers
o Further aggravate the skin problem and become more infected.
¤ Oil, hair gel, make-up, and lotion should be rinsed off thoroughly.
¤ After swimming activities rinse well enough with soap, shampoo and water and as much as
possible dry your body and hair to prevent unwanted skin diseases and avoid catching a cold.

Learning Module 3 Fundamental Swimming Skills (12 hours)
Course Outcome/s:
1. Demonstrate through land drills the kinds of floating, breathing pattern, body position, and
the different swimming strokes
Learning Outcomes:
1. Discuss the basic swimming skills.

2. Perform the basic swimming skills properly and with ease.
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

SWIMMING BASIC SKILLS
• 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.

Types of floating
Prone float
The prone float is also known as the dead

man's float. It is one of the first techniques
beginning swimmers learn. Because it is a technique
in which the face is submerged in the water.
The prone float helps beginners become

accustomed to that sensation and to build
confidence in the water.
Push off in a streamlined position with your face in the water. Glide forward and open up
into a big letter X. Hold your breath for about ten seconds and then begin to exhale slowly.
Supine/Back Float
Float in a horizontal position with your face

above the water. The air in your lungs will keep
you floating. Relax. Let your arms and legs dangle.
Push off in a streamlined position with your

face above the water. Glide forward and open up into
a big letter X. Breath calmly.
Turtle Float
Push off and raise your legs to the chest.

Wrap both legs with arms. Hold your breath for
about ten seconds and then begin to exhale
slowly. To recover in standing position, the
legs are extended and the body rose to an
upright position.

Jelly Fish Float
Hold the ankles with the hands. It is also

known as the survival float.
Push off and bend your torso slightly with

your face in the water. Slowly hold your ankles
and keep your legs in stride position. Hold your
breath for about ten seconds and then begin
to exhale slowly.
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.
Various Ways to Perform Sculling
¤ 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.

¤ A great way to practice sculling is to begin with your arms in front of you, and just scull all the
way through underneath your body as you're on your belly. As you get down to your hips,
recover your arms close to your chest, up, back to the original position, and again, scull all the
way through by moving your palms through the water to make it more efficient.

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

. T H

LEGES
ST

of the pool pushes you in the opposite direction in this case up. This keeps you on the surface
of the water.
¤ 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
There are a number of practices you can try in the pool:

¤ Stand in the shallow end of the pool and practice your arm action.
¤ Try the leg action whilst holding the side of the pool.
¤ Next try the leg action whilst resting on two floats in depth.
¤ The leg action whist holding the side with one hand and the sculling circular action with
the other.
¤ Try now doing the leg action holding only one float in one hand and sculling with the other
¤ Now try the whole skill in shoulder depth water when in out of depth.
These are the fundamental keys for treading water.
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.

. T H

LEGES
ST

2. Egg Beater Legs: As you become more comfortable, have experiment with moving your
legs like old-fashioned eggbeaters. With both of your legs bent at the hip and the knee, as
if you were sitting on a chair, move first one leg and then the other, with the motion coming
from the knee. Draw a big circle in the water with one toe and then the other, moving the
toe forward and then toward the center of the body before bringing it back, away from the
center, and forward again.
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.
