Into The Water Without Fear
Vol.7,No.3(2013)
This paper deals with the impact of the Halliwick Swimming Concept on the subjective experience and psychical states of people with a physical impairment. By means of the Halliwick Swimming Concept, which consisted of 10 swimming lessons, we observed the psychical responses of the tested persons to individual lessons as well as to the whole programme within a frame of a case study. The acquired data indicated a positive impact of the swimming programme. The data suggests the elimination of negative psychical states in a water environment such as anxiety, discomfort and despondency and a gradual increase of psychical well-being, activity and feelings of power and energy connected with positive expectations. Most of these changes proved not only in individual lessons, but also from the point of view of the whole programme. This paper has been written within a project OP VK CZ.1.07/2.4.00/17.0037 „Development of Pedagogical and Research Activities within the Department of Social Sciences in Sport at the FSpS MU“.
