In the past few years considerable effort has gone into the study of the learning process, including physical activities found in physical education. The aim of these efforts has been to reduce the time oflearning and enhance the development of skilled movements. As a result new knowledge has been obtained concerning the phases of the learning process and the most effective organization of physical education lessons. Providing information to the student is an important aspect of learning. Consequently, it is important to know what is the most effective type, time, and intensity of information to be given to students in various stages of the learning process. Only some preliminary information concerning this process can be provided at the present time. In the initial phases of learning, visual information is of particular importance (Meinel, 1960) in developing and refining motor concepts. This knowledge, confirmed by research in different types of sports (Leirich, 1973), is also of great importance for training in swimming. Besides the traditional application of visual information such as the demonstration by the teacher or other pupils of exercises to be learned and the use of films or pictures, the investigators sought to find other methods for recording significant parameters of the motor process and for using them as an aid in the teaching and coaching of swimming. This study was based on the following assumptions: a) In the initial phases of motor learning, information on the special aspects of movement is particularly important. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to obtain a demonstration of the motor process in which the curves of selected body points are indicated. b) It is appropriate for explanations and corrections to have, in addition to pictures of the motor process to be learned, records of the skill level reached on which concrete and clear suggestions for correction can be based.
