Abstract
Concurrent Validity of Front-Crawl Swimming Competence through Measurement of Basic Swimming Abilities for Beginners
Highlights
Having swimming competence is important, especially as a preparation for possible drowning accidents [1]
The success of one's swimming competence can be determined by these special basic abilities, such as ability to dive, float, glide, leg motion to push, arm movement to push, coordination of leg & arm movements, and the ability to take a breath [3]
This study aimed to test the concurrent validity to confirm the relationship between basic swimming ability as predictor factors and frontcrawl swimming competence as a criterion, not as a measurement test to prepare for the prevention of drowning accidents
Summary
Having swimming competence is important, especially as a preparation for possible drowning accidents [1]. The success of one's swimming competence can be determined by these special basic abilities, such as ability to dive, float, glide, leg motion to push (leg propulsion), arm movement to push (hand propulsion), coordination of leg & arm movements, and the ability to take a breath (breath control) [3]. This basic swimming ability is a battery that can be used as a measure to estimate the achievement of swimming competence [4]. Floating, diving, underwater swimming, and swimming for technique are basic water competency
