of their motorist, mentality, intellectual, social, and body development. Once he has
swimming skill, someday he will have a multi benefit in their future. He will be able to keep
himself from water dangerousness in his life, he will use his leisure time for water activities,
sustain their fresh body with swimming activity, and also if he has sickness such as
asthma, a therapy after operation etc can be cured by swimming.
The question of when is the best time for kids to learn swimming has been asked by
many parents who have very young kids. As Tudor Bompa 1985:9 said in his mapping in
every sport when or what a certain time of kids to get lesson in particular sport. For
swimming lesson, kids can be trained since theyre between 3-7 years old, the age of
specialization between 10-12 years, and for the highest performance between 16-18
years old. It means that all kids can be trained starting from 3 years old. In the
reality, there are so many parents who send their kids to get swimming course since
theyre three years old like the researcher has experienced itself. Application of the buoy as
to what and when to get used to the students and the body part where the buoy attached
so that effective use. Questions like this are going to be solved.
Based on this background, the study was intrigued to find a more effective model
both processes and outcomes in the process of learning swimming skills for children
kindergarten age. is the title of model of learning swimming skills for preschool-based
tool that aids float appropriate.
B. Restrictions and the formulation of the problem
Limitation of the study 1. Research subjects will be limited
to children aged kindergarten class B or between the ages of 5 and 6 years, basic
considerations, given this age are prone to accidents in water, is still weak in terms of
motor maturity, and intelligence, for ages 5 and 6 old will be considered sufficient time to
obtain meaningful progress according to the time required during treatment subjects will
be set based on the willingness of parents to involve their children in research.
2. Location of the research will be conducted in a swimming pool around
Bandung city. 3. Swimming style will be focused on
the breaststroke and, considerations of this style are considered easier to take a breather
compared to freestyle. 4. Object target of the study will
focus on the effectiveness of the process of actively practicing, enthusiastic children,
comfort, pleasure, and a significant level of progress, and the results of the skills pool
skills are mastered quickly how long the average child can master the skills of
swimming the breaststroke, and how many meters the distance that can be taken.

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
