The aim of our study was to examine the effect of swimming activities on the development of swimming skills in student with physical disability and to determine whether these activities also affect the student’s general motor development. The sample consisted of one student with physical disability in the third grade of primary school. The student was involved in a ten-hour swimming course, based on the Halliwick concept of swimming for children with special needs. Data about the student’s progress were obtained through structured observations at the beginning and at the end of the course, where the SWIM internationally standardized test was used. Results show that the student developed balance, coordination, power, precision, flexibility and was capable of independent 25-meter backstroke swimming at the end of the course. Results prove that swimming is a highly suitable activity for students with physical disability.
