The result of the analysis shows that there are five self-confidence domains developed to measure students' self confidence in swimming learning: (1) physical appearance (r = 0.830, p <0.01); (2) learning ability (r = 0.800, p <0.01); (3) social acceptance (r = 0.708, p <0.01); (4) behavior (r = 0.835, p <0.01); and (5) physical ability (r = 0.785, p <0.01). The results indicate that the tool is declared valid. Cronbach's Alpha calculation value of 0.913 indicates that the items that are arranged are reliable. Each domain is represented by eight statement items consisting of four favorable items and four unfavorable items so that the total number of items is 40 items. Based on these results it is believed that this instrument is appropriate to know the confidence of students majoring in sports education in swimming learning.
