Abstract
The present research examines the efficacy of employing a floating board made of EVA and EPP foams to instruct young swimmers on the fundamentals of swimming. A questionnaire was distributed to 31 coaches from a variety of clubs in the Wilaya of Boumerdes, who were responsible for training novices during the 2024–2025 sports season, using a descriptive-analytical methodology. The Chi-square (χ²) test was employed to conduct statistical analysis of the data that was collected. The study's specific objective was to evaluate the extent to which the floating board facilitated the acquisition of breathing control, arm pulls, and leg kicks by students, which are indispensable components of novice swimming lessons. The results suggested that the board was effective in facilitating the proper and balanced execution of leg kicks, promoting regular and coordinated respiration with movement, and improving the precision of arm pulls, thereby improving the transition to freestyle technique.
