Having the same parents repeatedly complete questionnaires over time, the current community based study investigated beliefs relevant to supervision, drowning risk, and water safety for children aged two through five enrolled in swim lessons. Results revealed that many parents value swimming lessons for young children and view supervision as an important prevention approach. Water safety beliefs and accuracy in judging children’s swim abilities improved over lessons, but time in lessons was related to endorsing poorer supervision of children near water. Having experienced a “close call” for drowning was found to make parents more aware of drowning risk and the importance of close supervision. Results highlight the need for parent education that targets beliefs about water safety and supervision during lessons, and also suggest that a close call for drowning may act as a “teachable moment” for parents and be an appropriate time to implement such interventions.

Darbo tikslas: nustatyti ir palyginti kineziterapijos ir kineziterapijos derinamos su plaukimo pamokomis poveikį 7 – 9 metų berniukų laikysenai, statinei liemens raumenų ištvermei ir pusiausvyrai. Uždaviniai: 1. Įvertinti kineziterapijos poveikį laikysenai, statinei liemens raumenų ištvermei bei pusiausvyrai, taikant kineziterapiją salėje berniukams su netaisyklinga laikysena. 2. Įvertinti kineziterapijos ir plaukimo pamokų poveikį laikysenai, statinei liemens raumenų ištvermei bei pusiausvyrai taikant kineziterapiją salėje ir plaukimo pamokas berniukams su netaisyklinga laikysena. 3. Nustatyti, kuris metodas turi didesnę įtaką gerinant laikyseną, statinę liemens raumenų ištvermę ir pusiausvyrą berniukams su netaisyklinga laikysena. Tyrimo hipotezė: manome, kad taikant kineziterapiją salėje, derinamą su plaukimo pamokomis, labiau pagerės berniukų laikysena, statinė liemens raumenų ištvermė ir pusiausvyra nei taikant tik kineziterapiją salėje. Tyrimo rezultatai: abiejų grupių laikysena, statinė liemens raumenų ištvermė bei pusiausvyra statistiškai reikšmingai (p < 0,05) pagerėjo. Tačiau lyginant grupes tarpusavyje, nebuvo nustatyta reiškmingo (p > 0,05) skirtumo tarp vertinamų rodiklių. Išvados: 1. Taikant kineziterapiją salėje statistiškai reikšmingai pagerėjo berniukų laikysena, statinė liemens raumenų ištvermė bei pusiausvyra...

Title: Czech and French concept of swimming lessons in school. Objectives: The objective of the study is to provide basic information about the concepts and management of swimming training at elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, universities and clubs in France. At the same time, use available resources to outline the functioning of swimming lessons in the Czech Republic and compare both of these systems. Methods: The method of analysis and synthesis was used to process the collected information. The obtained information about the Czech and French concept of swimming lessons in schools and clubs was subsequently compared. Results: Based on a comparison of the concepts of both countries, we found that these systems differ significantly. Although under the auspices of the same body, in France the Ministry of Education has much greater competence and the result is a very well-organized concept of swimming instruction. In comparison with the Czech Republic, it then appears that no institution managing the function is properly performed and significant shortcomings are found in the organization of swimming lessons within compulsory school attendance.
