THE IMPACT OF LEARNING SOME BASIC SWIMMING SKILLS ON FEAR LEVEL DEGREE AMONG PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

The study aimed to determine the impact of learning some basic swimming skills on the fear level degree among physical education students in Kadoorie University. To achieve this, the researcher followed the quasi-experimental method using a fear's questionnaire associated with learning to swim in order to measure the fear level degree in the aqueous medium. The simple randomly selected and included (67) male students registered for the swimming course (1), who have no previous experience in swimming. Results of the study showed that there is positive impact for learning the proposed basic swimming skills on the fear level degree in the aqueous medium, the fear level degree has reduced after learning basic swimming skills in terms of the arithmetic average of the fear level degree in pre measurement is (3.75) , but in post measurement is (1.63 ), the average difference between the two measurements pre and post was positive (2.11) which shows that learning basic swimming skills have positive effect in reducing of average fear degree among students. The researcher recommended using and learning the proposed basic swimming skills to help reduce the level of fear associated with aqueous medium, benefit from the student's self-confidence that resulting from learning swimming skills in improving the learning process and increase the effectiveness of swimming lessons in order to increase the swimming practices field.
