The article shows the possibility of using the game method in swimming as a non-traditional type of motor activity in the educational process of physical education of female students; theoretically substantiated pedagogical technology of the educational process of physical education of female students, based on the use of game complex forms of classes (game exercises on land and in water); a new approach to planning the content and organization of the educational process of physical education in higher education institutions was implemented on the basis of the game method; developed a game method that allows you to quickly master and improve motor skills of swimming. Full development of personality and self-realization in life requires not only intellectual and creative abilities, acquired professional knowledge and practical experience, but also a sufficient level of psychophysical condition, including physical health, mental and physical performance, psycho-emotional stability. Exercise contributes to the formation of a harmoniously developed personality and psychophysical training of students. The use of popular types of physical culture and health activities, namely swimming can not only provide a sufficient level of physical activity, but also have a positive effect on the psychophysical condition of student youth. Lack of physical activity has a particularly negative effect on the health of women, in particular, female students. Throughout the entire period of study in higher education institutions, female students have a low level of physical development, motor and functional fitness. This situation belongs, first of all, to pedagogical universities, where the vast majority of students are girls.
В статті показано можливість використання у освітньому процесі з фізичного виховання студенток ігрового методу у плаванні як нетрадиційного виду рухової активності; теоретично обґрунтовано педагогічну технологію освітнього процесу з фізичного виховання студенток, засновану на застосуванні ігрових комплексних форм занять (ігрові вправи на суші та у воді); на матеріалі ігрового методу здійснено новий підхід до планування змісту та організації освітнього процесу з фізичного виховання у закладах вищої освіти; розроблений ігровий метод, який дозволяє в короткий термін оволодіти та вдосконалювати рухові навички плавання.
