MainargumentThe design activity of the swimming lesson requests a series of questions which the teacher must answer. These questions help him/her to organize the content of teaching. The design activity of the swimming lesson is more difficult when the teacher works with disabled children. The teacher must take into account the disabilities which the children have and adapt the teaching content to the children's real possibilities. ConclusionsThe children with different disabilities can learn to swim. The teaching of the four swimming techniques request more patient and involvement from the teacher and more time for learning. The teaching design coordinates and organises all the teaching – learning process.
