Abstract
Abstract A study was conducted of the effect of submersion upon the sense of orientation of deaf swimmers. The deaf swimmers were classified into groups of those who were born deaf, those who were meningitic, those deaf from other causes, and those deaf from unknown causes. They performed two orientation tests along with a group of normal hearing swimmers. One test was the submerging of subjects under water from a rotating board with the eyes open and the other test was similar but with the eyes blindfolded. A statistical analysis of the data indicated that the meningitis group made a statistically significant slower time in coming up to the surface than the other groups.
