To Research The Learning Of Swimming Subject In Universities Of Yunnan Province

Swimming,one sports item with a high value of health,utility and amusement,is deeply loved by students in universities.So it is regarded as a compulsory or elective course in most universities in China.But swimming is a periodic sports item ruled by physique,which needs learners have high physique and techniques.What' s more,the sports can't carry out without water which has its own physical and hydromechanics characteristics.This makes the item is very different from other items on land in muscle work and movement methods.At the same time,guidance is insufficient in swimming teaching and basic theories about swimming are unclear in students' brains.All make students form an idea that swimming is difficult to learn though they love it very much.Based on these cases,the research explores the current situations of swimming subject in universities of Yunnan about students' learning attitude, learning contents,learning methods by looking for documents,visiting, carrying out questionaries and using statistics.The results are as follows.1.To some extent,teaching conditions of swimming subject can influence the learning of students.In teaching conditions,teaching hardwares,study assessments,subject types and arrangement of class time have great influence on swimming study.Students are normally satisfied with the current teaching situations in universities,such as teaching contents,teaching methods and teaching arrangements.2.The learning contents are to study single swimming techniques. Students have strong appetency for studying swimming techniques,but have little initiative in studying theories and concerned social abilities embodied in swimming.3.Action study is the main method of students.They often master swimming techniques by observing,imitating and practicing.They have clear aim and right attitude and can rearrange and compose study schedule and methods,but they don't get enough ready to study. 4.Students usually start their study from being familiar with water to swimming forward over 50m in water.About 92%students in universities of Yunnan can master swimming techniques and swim forward 50m by themselves.Of course,their techniques need further improvement.
