learning the skills pool, as well as train the kindergarten children, a wide range of
assistive devices used buoys, but its application has not been the way of
consideration in accordance with pedagogical principles, the principle of development, as
well as individual differences, only children seem happy just, and safe, but significant
effect on the progress has not been unnoticed therefore with a sense of curiosity
to the problem, formulated by asking the following issues; Issues to be answered
through this research include: Models use a tool like what floats
more effectively applied in the process of learning
swimming skills
for children
kindergarten age
especially swimming
breaststroke. The detailed formulation of the
problem formulated in the research question as follows:
1. How does the process of learning swimming skills by swimming coaches for
kindergarten-age children in breaststroke swimming skills taught at this time.
2. How does the process and learning outcomes breaststroke swimming
skills for children kindergarten to the model using the tools and hands float, kick board,
back float, hand float, vest pool, and tube float.
3. How does the process and learning outcomes breaststroke swimming
skills for children kindergarten with direct assistance without assistance
4. Which model among that models are more effective on both process and
outcome in the process of learning swimming skills are applied for kindergarten age
children.
C. Assumptions
The need for mastery of the skills pool in todays society, especially the growing
middle class continues to increase. Along with the development of modern life which is
decorated with a hedonistic lifestyle. Growth of swimming pools for pleasure or recreation,
especially in large cities mushroomed even to the local levels have built many recreational
swimming pools.
Similarly, in
hotels, apartments,
elite residential
complexes equipped with a swimming pool. Beaches or
lakes made the stimulus for parents and awaken to the importance of the ability of
swimming skills for children. Parental awareness of the need for
mastery of the swimming skills for children, especially in the city such as already
appears. This proved to parents who come to the courses to be trained swimming. And they
bring their children ranging in age from kindergarten. Based on the observations of
researchers in the field, almost all swimming pools in the Bandung city organize swimming
courses. And every year increased the participants.
While based on the observations in the field, the trainer of kindergarten children
pool, in the process of training or analytical study was multi-faceted for example; anyone

using just one kind of buoy monotonically, anyone using a variety of exercises to buoy
from early child can, some are not at all using floats or held directly. And watch out for any
train no change model. While in terms of results, with a variety of models are made by
the trainer is not yet known the results are more effective. Expected with models that will
be try by trainer with the skills of learning model-based customized pool buoy can
provide the solution in solving the problems in the process of skills learning swimming
especially for children kindergarten. Swimming skill include hard skill
which enough to pre-sighted because it do on the water. Hence, in the process need some
help tools, to help students who have difficulties in learning it. Some instrument
commonly used in the learning process skill pool for beginners is, a buoy. As kickboard, a
back float, a buoy hand or another. The function of this float is to keep the
childs safety, comfort, help buoyancy, comfort when studying the patterns of motion,
or coordination of movement. Also to cultivate enthusiasm and motivation of learning, instill
confidence child to water. However, in the use of this tool does not arbitrarily, that fact
instead of the expected goals, but rather be a setback to the potential child. Does that mean
the use of these tools should really be considered as mature, customized based on
differences in the characteristics of the child. Such as the type or body shape, body weight,
level of anxiety, the level of maturity of the child, a buoyancy motor, intelligentsia, and
the progress of learning each unit learning outcomes. Thus it can happen not every child
using help tools, or not every child using the same tool. And when using the tool may not
be same, similarly when start reduces or releasing tools are also not same. Similarly in
the stage of how to reduce or downgrade tool to help children escape and successfully
mastering the skills pool is also different. It is sure referring to the principles the use of the
tools, and pedagogical principles. Therefore, this model is a model that
use a variety of tools, but in the use of buoy will be customized to the developmental level
of the age kindergarten, and a variety of characteristic differences students.
