Terminology in Swimming

The subject of this study is the terms in swimming, as part of sports terminology. In the swimming educational process, the learning objectives depend on the age and degree of preparation of the learners, the duration of training, and the conditions for its implementation. The unification of the terminology would improve the conditions in the educational process and would create better conditions for preliminary theoretical preparation. The development of a sports terminology dictionary for swimming has numerous benefits, both for specialists and amateurs in the field of sports. Due to the specific characteristics of the aquatic environment, improving the terminology and signaling system would improve the communication between the coach and the trainees. The opportunities provided by well-known and properly selected terminology, as well as various verbal and non-verbal methods, will optimize the swimming training process. In this study, we attempt to systematize and define the terms in swimming, presenting them in four different languages, in order to meet the information needs of the specific users.
