Fukuoka University students in Sports and Health Science assisted again this year with swimming classes held in the summer for first graders to sixth graders at Naka Elementary School. Their main role was to show four different swimming styles and strokes in exemplary ways. They also evaluated the children's swimming skills and taught how to improve their technique. These classes served also as invaluable hands-on learning opportunities for the university students off-campus, as they are studying to become health and PE teachers or certified competitive swimming coaches.

We hope to continue offering the assistance to help narrow the widening gap in swimming skills and physical skills between children who take after-school swimming lessons and those who do not.
