Abstract:
This study clarifies how BPED students prepared for and evaluated themselves on their fundamental swimming
abilities inside a blended learning framework. The results highlight the value of warm-up activities before
classes and the complexity of self- evaluation. The study also emphasizes how students' levels of competency
vary, depending on things like past knowledge and personal difficulties. The knowledge collected from this
study adds to our understanding of effective pedagogical methods for teaching swimming in a blended learning
setting, highlighting the value of individualized instruction and extra resources for skill development. A
purposive sample technique was used to choose ten third-year Bachelor of Physical Education students
participating in PEED 115 using a qualitative descriptive study methodology. In-depth interviews were used for
the data collection process. According to the research, students started performing warm-up exercises as part of
their pre-swimming regimen. In terms of self-evaluation, the majority of students admitted that they had trouble
doing different swimming strokes, which they attributed to things like poor breathing skills and a lack of prior
swimming experience. While some children were able to complete some strokes, others had difficulty. Notably,
individuals who gave a positive assessment of their abilities had mastered swimming since they were little. The
majority of students said they regularly practiced swimming, while some sought advice from teachers, peers, and
adults. In order to help students develop their skills, other learning tools were also used, such as tutorial videos
on websites like YouTube. The study's findings emphasized the value of pre-class preparation for effective
swimming training. Additionally, it became clear that the majority of students needed constant practice and
professional instruction to improve their swimming abilities. The study emphasizes the value of skill-building
methods and psychological preparation in the context of integrated learning for swimming instruction.
