EXPERIENCE REPORT ON ASPECTS OF TEACHING SWIMMING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD

Abstract

The present study aims to identify the aspects that involve work with teaching swimming in early childhood. Such action occurred during the student experience in Stage VIII, whose proposal was to teach swimming lessons for children in a clinic in Guanambi/Bahia. This work is an experience report with a qualitative approach and descriptive character. The internship consisted of: observation and intervention; and for data collection, the qualitative observation script and the logbook were adopted. The schedule consisted of approaching the liquid medium, fluctuation, breathing and propulsion. In view of the observation, it was noted that the place has an adequate structure, and that there was the existence of three relationships between the conducting teacher: with those responsible for the children - it was communicative; with the children - he was affectionate; and in relation to the content - he was attentive to its fulfillment. As for the intervention, it was characterized by playfulness for learning; and when there was news in the class the children participated with more animation. The trajectory was marked by difficulties (insecurity to teach the class), motivations (witnessing learning) and potential aspect (support from teachers). Given this situation, it is understood that the aspects that involve working with teaching swimming in early childhood are: interpersonal relationship (with parents and children), characteristics of the classes, the child's father/mother presence in the classroom and professional profile.
