Good level of sporty swimming techniques.
Teaching Methods
The theoretical sessions will follow an expository presentation of key issues for understanding the training process in swimming. The theoretical and practical sessions will take place in supervised training environment.
Learning Outcomes
The course is oriented towards the study of specific factors related to the training of Swimming Sports.
It will examine the fundamentals and the methods for aerobic, anaerobic and speed training. Additional it addresses the strength and flexibility training specific for swimming. Will be presented the guiding principles of planning and periodization and finally we will present a proposed of sports career
At the end of the semester students will:
a) Understand the models of swimming sports organizations
b) Demonstrated ability to plan and conduct training sessions
c) Know the assumptions of the sporting career in swimming.
