The effect of direct auditory feedback on learning the technical performance of freestyle swimming for beginners

Abstract

The study aims to know the effect of feedback using wireless water communication in learning the technical performance of free swimming for beginners. The researchers used the experimental method to suit the nature of the problem and the goal of the research. The research population consisted of participants in the summer course for teaching swimming in the (Sports Center) swimming pool in the district of Kalar, who numbered (27) children. As for the research sample, they numbered (20) children whose ages ranged from ( (10-12) years, as the percentage of the sample reached (74%) from the community of origin, and based on the characteristics of the research sample, the researcher divided the individuals of the research sample into two homogeneous groups by lottery method, and each group consists of (10) beginner children for the two research groups, the group ( A) the experimental group and (B) the control group, who could not swim at all. The researchers concluded:

1- Direct auditory feedback using wireless water communication technology has an effective effect in learning the technical performance of free swimming.

2- The experimental group members outperformed the control group members in the freestyle technical performance test.
