The research group was formed by 101 freshers of the Department of Physical Education and Sport, FH UMB in Banska Bystrica. Their average age at the time of research was 20 years of age. We used the assessment technique based on Svozil and Gajda's (1997) rating scale to assess the front crawl swimming technique. Based on the results of output testing, we claim that the level of acquired swimming technique increased. Despite the errors, which were not removed completely, there was a percentage decrease in the number of errors in both groups. Systematic application of our corrective programme led to an important improvement in breathing technique. Nevertheless, some students still tilt their head backwards, despite having taken lessons aimed at the correction of such error. We also registered positive changes in the pull phase. Errors were minimised in both groups. As for the position of the trunk and the leg kick, positive changes without distinct anomalies in the technique were recorded. Drawing on these facts, we confirmed the hypothesis about the efficiency of the corrective programme, which has been integrated into the swimming courses to correct errors in the front crawl swimming technique. Key words: front Crawl Swimming Technique, Corrective swimming programme
