INTRODUCTION

The degree of development required to learn a swimming style is not reached before the age of

five to six years old

(1, 2)

.

 Before that age, it is very interesting to discover the aquatic environment to

develop specific skills

(2, 3)

:

Entering into the water – Immersion – Floatation – Breathing – Propulsion

Between three to eight years old, measuring the level of these different skills should be interesting for

pedagogical applications. Since 2010, we are working on such a testing battery.

The aim of this paper is to present the different steps of its elaboration.

The testing battery

o Testing battery with 20 subtests was identical for all children.

o According to children performance, a

score

is attributed for

each subtest.

o The sum of all scores gives a total score, representing the

water familiarisation level.

Accessible to most swimming pools

• Only usual and light equipment • Need only one lane

3 depth level 1) Paddling pool (±30cm) 2) Play pool (±80cm) 3) Deep pool (<200cm) Quick

20 minutes for a group of 5 children

Longitudinal follow up Testing sequence was the same for all

children and presents an increasing difficulty for the 5 skills.

Complete evaluation 5 skills evaluated through 20

subtests.

Video Recorded Allow to test more children at the same time and in a short time

Playful Based on a “frogs story”

* Critical analysis permitted to change progressively and improve the initial testing battery.

° The purpose of our studies was

to make evolve a water familiarization testing battery

in order to have one which is

successful

and also as adapted to the

field reality

as possible.

°

Experts

are now analysing this final version of battery

to make it validaded

 Initial version of the testing battery (2010)

Results : we observed that very well familiarized children obtained

nearly maximal scores

.

 We decided to

add swimming style assessment

.

 2

nd

version of the testing battery (2014)

Results : we have

added 3 tests of swimming style

, so the testing battery

was composed of

23 items

. This second version was

too much

time-consuming

. Moreover, it required

time video analysis

.

 We decided to carry out a «

biplot analysis

» in order

to simplify

the testing battery

. The « biplot analysis » selected the

10 most

relevant tests.

 3

rd

version of the testing battery (2015)

Results : Simplifying the testing battery was successful and the tests execution time was reduced to

15 minutes for 3-5 children

. This last version

is

better adapted to the field condition

as it is

short

and it could be done

without any video recording

.

3rd and final version

Accessible to most swimming pools
