Assessment of swimming ability is an integral part of the Halliwick concept. The system of Halliwick badges is used, which has recently been supplemented by the Swimming With Independent Measurement (SWIM). There is no data on sensitivity of the SWIM test in the literature, so we wanted to verify it. Twelve children took part in the assessment. At the start of the programme, their mean SWIM score was 37.9, and at the final test it was 54.3 (p=0,001). The children who remained within the red badge category gained 7.5 points on average, while the average gain of the children who progressed further was 18.6 points (p<0.001). SWIM also showed worsened swimming skills in one of the children, which was related to femoral fracture due to osteoporosis as part of the principal disease. Hence, the results demonstrated that SWIM is sensitive to change in swimming abilityTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverzitetni rehabilitacijski inštitut RS – Soča
