Objectives

To provide the students with extensive knowledge about swimming performance determinants, training methodology, evaluation and training control of swimmers, and talents detection. These objectives are common to swimming, water polo and synchronized swimming.

Program

1. General considerations regarding swimming specificities. 2. Swimming teaching. 3. Brief introduction to research methodology in sport sciences, and to the methodology of dissemination of scientific knowledge. 4. Swimming and swimmer’s characterization. 5. General considerations regarding swimming training. 6. General considerations regarding theory and methodology of training. 7. Training of the main swimming performance influencing factors. 8. Training states. 9. Warm-up, recovery and nutrition. 10. Planning and periodization. 11. Early intensive training. 12. Training control and evaluation of swimmers. 13. Sportive talents prospection. 14. Management of a swimming school aiming for sport engagement. 15. Competition.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Plural, although focused on the most traditional class centred on the transmission of syllabus, due to the number of students (<20), to the diverse iconographic support, and to the systematic appeal to students intervention and dialog. In addition, other teaching methodologies are used: (i) learning centred on the student by the realization of lecture files and low extensive monographic works; (ii) group works, specifically for the documents analysis, and appreciation and use of evaluation tools in swimming; (iii) use of multimedia systems, aiming the individual tutored learning in topics related with the study of the swimming technique, and evaluation of swimmers and training control and advise. Complementarily, some practical sessions are implemented, usually involved in the Swimming Department of FADEUP activities, in which it is aimed to confront the student to the requirements of conducting a training session, leading a swimming team in a competition event, and implementing research protocols. Evaluation along the semester without final examination.
