PSYCHO-PEDAGOGY OF GAME IN SWIMMING TEACHING AT PRESCHOOL AGE

Abstract

The game is the physical and mental activity that contributes most to the formation and development of the child's personality, especially at pre-school age. The variety and creativity of the game reflect the mental, emotional and health status of the child. In terms of swimming instructional activity, the implementation of the game in learning to swim is beneficial at all developmental stages of preschoolers, in varying weights depending on the developmental stage of the children. The movement games are grouped in the preschool activity on two levels: the 3-5 years level and the 5-7 years level. The research aims to investigate how two groups of children aged 3-5 years and 5-7 years learn to swim by adapting traditional didactic movement games to aquatic games, aiming to assimilate knowledge, skills and motor skills at the two levels of development of the pre-schoolers.
The water games can be used for beginners, initiated, advanced or all these levels, as well as for large groups, even groups, 2 or more children. Water has about 12 times the resistance of air, making every movement in water a real exercise. On top of that, twater provides both buoyancy and support for the body.
