Abstract: This paper discusses the numerous benefits of including swimming in the physical education program for primary school students. Swimming is a unique form of physical activity that promotes the harmonious development of a child. Unlike many land-based sports, swimming involves almost all muscle groups, providing a comprehensive workout for the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Regular swimming helps improve posture, coordination, strength, and endurance. In addition to the physical benefits, swimming has a positive effect on the psycho-emotional state of children, helping to reduce stress and anxiety, as well as increasing self-confidence and discipline. Integrating swimming into the school physical education program can be an effective tool for the formation of a healthy lifestyle and the all-round development of primary school students.
