IMPROVEMENT OF SPORTS SWIMMING TECHNIQUES IN WATER SPORTS STUDENTS

The research purpose is to improve the swimming technique of students of water sports, whose professional specialization is not related to sports swimming. 

Methods and organization of the research. The study was conducted at the Department of Theory and Methodology of Swimming of P.F. Lesgaft National State University, St. Petersburg, from 2018 to 2024. The authors used a summary of many years of professional experience in teaching the discipline "Professional and Sports Improvement" (using swimming as an example) to students of higher education institutions, pedagogical observation using surface photography and video recordings of practical classes of students of specialization, pedagogical experiment.

Research results and their discussion. The results of the study made it possible to identify the characteristic features and disadvantages in the technique of sports swimming methods among students depending on their chosen type of water sport, to determine the causes of occurrence, as well as the consequences of a particular error in swimming technique, to theoretically develop and experimentally substantiate the means of correcting errors within the framework of practical training in specialization.

Conclusion. The process of improving the technique of sports swimming methods in students of water sports is necessary for: mastering general professional competencies within the framework of academic disciplines in specialization, honing sports skills in their chosen sport by analyzing their own motor actions, developing in future specialists the skills and abilities in the field of organizing the activities of athletes and students, as well as methods for effectively conducting physical education and sports classes using swimming as an example.
