The basic research method was pedagogical experiment combined with the technique of parallel groups. Another experimental factor was the method of teaching swimming activities that involved the implementation of visual and verbal information transfer enhanced with additional audio-visual technique and supplemented with self-observation and self-assessment.[b]Results[/b]. Statistically significant changes of the pretest and posttest measurements in the level of mastering crawl technique were noted, evidently higher in experimental (E) than in control (K) group, both ofwomen and men.
