With the state deepening educational reform and advancing the strategies of a Healthy China and a strong sporting nation, the “integration of sports and education” has become a core concept and key pathway for the development of school physical education in the new era. The physical and mental health and comprehensive development of adolescents are of great significance. As a comprehensive sport, swimming plays an irreplaceable role in youth growth and development. However, current youth swimming teaching in China is constrained by problems such as single teaching objectives, outdated content, rigid methods, fragmented resources, and one-sided evaluation, making it difficult to meet the holistic educational requirements of sports–education integration. This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the connotation of sports–education integration and its new requirements for youth swimming teaching, and systematically examines existing teaching dilemmas. From six dimensions—objective system, curriculum content, teaching methods, resource integration, evaluation mechanisms, and teacher development—this study constructs a systematic, diversified, and collaborative innovative model for youth swimming teaching. Centered on student development, the proposed model integrates knowledge acquisition, skill development, and value cultivation, providing theoretical support and practical pathways for improving teaching quality and promoting the comprehensive and healthy development of adolescents.
