Abstract
The aim of the research is to determine the level of change in basic motor abilities of non-swimmers, under the influence of the experimental swimming program The study was conducted on a sample of 70 entities, age of 6-9 years, boys and girls, divided into two separate groups according to gender. Basic aim of the swimming program was learning and development of tehnical knowledge in swimming tehniques, breaststroke, freestyle and backstroke. Duration of the experimental swimming program was 90 days. To monitor motor abilities we choose simple and well known tests: agility on the ground, agility in the air, coordination with bat, lifting the trunk, lying hull lift, lying leg lift, flex with stick, straddle bend forward, forward bend on the bench. The study data of the initial and final measurements were subjected to discriminant analysis, with the aim of determining significant difference between the two points of measurement. The variables of basic motor skills that have sustained change are the variables that assessed flexibility and strength.
