Data on the effectiveness of Halliwick swimming programs have not been published, so we wanted to check the efficacy of our swimming program for children. We were interested in the general progress and the progress in individual skills. We also wanted to know whether the progress depends on age, the primary diagnosis of the swimmer and the frequency of exercise. Methods: In a prospective study we evaluated children who were included in a Halliwick based swimming program in the period from October 2011 to June 2012. We collected data on their gender, age, diagnosis, initial and final swimming skills tested with SWIM and the number of swimming hours during the program. Results: Ten children out of 15 in the program were evaluated with the SWIM test. They were 7.5 years old on average (range 3.3 to 14.2 years). The average SWIM test result was 40 points (SD 18) at the beginning of the program and 47 points (SD 14) at the end of the program the children progressed by 7 points on average. Those who were involved in the program for the first time improved on average for 11 points, the others for 3 points. The largest progress was achieved in the ability to enter and exit the water, longitudinal rotation, maintaining balance and transversal rotation. The frequency of exercise did not have a clear impact on the improvement of swimming skills. Conclusion: Assessment of swimming skills with the SWIM test showed that all children improved their swimming abilities, with the exception of a child with Duchene muscular dystrophy. The progress depends on the underlying disease, and partly also on the age and the frequency of exercise, but the latter would have to be studied further in a larger studyIzhodišča: Učenje plavanja po Halliwickovem konceptu je namenjeno osebam z zmanjšanimi zmožnostmi pri gibanju ali učenju. Podatkov o učinkovitosti učenja plavanja po Halliwickovem konceptu v dostopni literaturi nismo našli, zato smo želeli preveriti, kakšen je napredek otrok, ki so v program vključeni v obdobju enega šolskega leta. Zanimalo nas je, kakšen je splošni napredek otrok pri plavanju ter pri katerih veščinah so otroci najbolj napredovali. Zanimalo nas je tudi, ali je bil napredek odvisen od starosti in osnovne diagnoze plavalca ter od pogostnosti vadbe. Metode: V študiji smo zbrali in pregledali rezultate ocenjevanja plavalnih veščin otrok, ki so bili v program učenja plavanja po Halliwickovem konceptu vključeni v obdobju od oktobra 2011 do junija 2012. Iz dokumentacije smo zbrali podatke o spolu, starosti, diagnozi, začetni in končni oceni plavalnih veščin s testom SWIM ter o številu ur plavanja, ki so ga opravili v tem obdobju. Rezultati: V program učenja plavanja je bilo vključenih 15 otrok; pri desetih smo na začetku in na koncu ocenili plavalne veščine s testom SWIM. Otroci, ki smo jih ocenili, so bili v povprečju stari 7,5 let (od 3,3 do 14,2 let). Povprečni rezultat testiranja s testom SWIM je bil pri prvem testiranju 40 točk (SD 18), pri drugem pa 47 točk (SD 14) skupina je v povprečju napredovala za 7 točk. Otroci, ki so bili v program vključeni prvič, so v povprečju napredovali za 11 točk, ostali, ki so se učili plavanja že v prejšnjih šolskih letih, pa za 3 točke. Največji napredek so dosegli pri izstopu iz vode in vzdolžnem vrtenju, dobro so napredovali tudi pri vzdrževanju ravnotežja, prečnem in sestavljenem vrtenju ter razvoju plavalnih veščin. Pogostnost vadbe ni očitno vplivala na izboljšanje plavalnih veščin. Zaključek: Z ocenjevanjem plavalnih veščin pri otrocih s testom SWIM smo ugotovili, da so napredovali vsi otroci razen enega z Duchennovo mišično distrofijo. Napredek je odvisen od otrokove bolezni, deloma pa tudi od starosti otrok in pogostnosti vadbe, vendar bi bilo to potrebno preveriti v obsežnejši študijiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverzitetni rehabilitacijski inštitut RS – Soča
