Overview of the level of formation of swimming skills among the winners of the XX world aquatics championships

Actuality. As the experience of theory and practice shows, the World Aquatics Championships are the largest international competition held since 1973 under the control of FINA (International Swimming Federation). They include swimming in the pool and open water - marathon swimming, starting in 1991, as well as diving, water polo, and synchronized swimming. The swimming program was gradually supplemented and expanded, ranging from 29 to 34 species by 1991 and to 49 species in total among women and men by the present stage. Therefore, the capabilities of swimmers are expanding to testify to the personal parameters of a more reliable formation of motor skills in sports and marathon swimming. Analysis of recent research and publications. Specific information on the state of modern parameters of differences in the formation of swimming skills among young people and adults, taking into account their sex, occurs in a very sporadic and fragmentary manner, as evidenced by the literature on the theory and methodology of physical education and sport (Ganchar, 2015, 2017, 2018). There are also quite convincing publications on the specifics of training women and men of similar opportunities for training swimming skills as national authors (Korop, Kononenko, 1983; Platonov, 2002), and widely reported in foreign sources of literature and practice (Maglischo, 2003, Hannula, 2001, Schubert, 1990, www.fina.org, www.swimrankings.net, www.omegatiming.com). The purpose of the research is to determine the level and degree of parameters of the formation of swimming motor skills in prize-winning swimmers based on the observation of the dynamics of the results of the prize-winners of the final swims at the XX World Aquatics Championships, which took place on July 14-30, 2023. The objectives of the study were: 1) to determine the differences in the levels of the parameters of the formation of swimming motor skills among elite swimmers-prize-winners before the practice of holding prestigious competitions at the XX World Swimming Championships in Fukuoka-2023; 2) the application of the most significant results of the conducted research in modern practical experience for the possible improvement of the formation of the motor skill of swimming in different age groups. The main research methods were: theoretical analysis of literary sources and practical experience, monitoring, ascertaining experiment, generalization of documentary materials, mathematical statistics. Research methods: theoretical analysis of the literature related to the problem (15 sources of literature and practical experience, well-known specialists and specialists), synthesis of documentary materials: (analysis of 45 official protocols with the participation of winning swimmers at the XX World Championships in Japan, Fukuoka-2023, which are posted on the following sites: comparative ascertaining experiment: with its help, data were obtained that made it possible to compare the indicators of average speed in achievements prize-winning swimmers among 112 men and 111 women at all 45 distances of sports and marathon swimming, who received gold, silver and bronze medals from 22 countries; mathematical statistics (this is necessary to determine the average indicators to calculate their reliability at the significance level: p = 0.05 achievements of swimmers at different distances).
