Zusammenfassung

This study analyzed whether the application of two swimming initiation programs managed to improve the bodily and socio-affective self-esteem of five- and six-year-old students, in addition to knowing which of the two programs was more effective in said improvement. For this, two programs were applied with a duration of three months. The programs were designed under the stage teaching approach of the Royal Spanish Swimming Federation. The first program was established in the control group (31 girls and 27 boys) and the second program in the experimental group (29 girls and 23 boys). The program of the experimental group included as a fundamental variant the application of specific aquatic motor games designed with the aim of promoting knowledge of one's own body and collaborative play. The results obtained showed that the experimental group achieved significant improvements in both self-esteem. In the control group, only body self-esteem improved. In the comparison between groups, the experimental group that included motor games to promote body awareness, and collaborative play was significantly more efficient in improving both self-esteem. On the other hand, no differences related to sex were found.
