Summary: 
The article describes the characteristics of organizing and conducting swimming 
lessons in preschool educational institutions. The authors highlight the importance of swimming as 
a necessary life skill and discuss the challenges and opportunities of teaching swimming to young 
children. The article also covers the psychological and physical benefits of swimming and how it 
contributes to the overall development of a child. The authors provide an overview of the different 
approaches to organizing and conducting swimming lessons, including individual and group 
lessons
, 
guidelines for ensuring the safety of young children during swimming lessons.

Swimming is a fundamental life skill that plays an essential role in the physical, emotional, 
and social development of children. It is, therefore, important that swimming lessons are introduced 
to children at an early age. In preschool education, swimming lessons are organized and conducted 
with specific characteristics that are tailored to the age, physical ability, and developmental level of 
the children. This literature review aims to provide an overview of the characteristics of organizing 
and conducting swimming lessons in preschool education. Swimming can improve both 
psychological and physical health in children, making it an important aspect of their development. 
In this methodology, we will review the literature on the psychological and physical benefits of 
swimming for preschool education pupils. We synthesized the data from the selected articles to 
identify the psychological and physical benefits of swimming for preschool education pupils. We 
also identified the limitations of each study and the implications for future research.
Psychological Benefits
: Improved self-esteem and confidence: Swimming can help 
preschool education pupils develop a sense of self-esteem and confidence as they learn new skills 
and become more comfortable in the water [12], 
Reduced anxiety and stress
: Swimming has been 
shown to reduce anxiety and stress in children. The calming effect of water can help children feel 
relaxed and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety [13], 
Improved social skills
: Swimming provides 
opportunities for children to interact with other children, which can help improve their social skills 
and build friendships [12]. 
Physical Benefits: 
Improved cardiovascular health: Swimming is a great cardiovascular 
workout that can help improve the heart and lung function of preschool education pupils [11],
 
Improved muscle strength and coordination: Swimming uses almost all of the muscles in the body, 
which can help improve muscle strength and coordination in preschool education pupils [11], 
Improved flexibility: Swimming can help improve flexibility, as the water provides a low-impact 
environment that allows children to move more freely [13]. 
One of the key characteristics of organizing swimming lessons in preschool education is 
safety. Young children are particularly vulnerable to accidents, and swimming pools can pose a 
serious risk if proper safety measures are not in place. According to Gosselin et al, swimming 
lessons in preschool education should prioritize safety by ensuring that the swimming pool is
