The management and planning of sports training at grass root level is an executive function, which is concerned with carrying out of the broad policies laid down for the training of upcoming youngsters. Such training is an urgent need, which involves working on different training models and methods and, at the same time, testing their efficiency and communicating it to concerned sport persons. In today’s competitive world, it is necessary that a continuous search be carried out to tap hidden talent at early age. In this regard, appropriate methods of training must be used to develop budding sportsmen. In the last decade of this century, we have witnessed the significant impact of communication media in almost all branches of human life and sports are no exception. In the good old days, basic skills of any game and swimming, in particular, was a matter concerning only swimmers and their respective coaches? Frankly speaking, it was all subjective, although some exceptions may be cited. At present, we have audio-visual aids that attract beginners, keen in the developing the basic skills of the sport. We report below the detail of an experiment conducted to assess the efficiency of (a) traditional method (T1), (b) Audio-visual methods (T2) and (c) combination of traditional and audio-visual methods (T3), on imparting and developing the basic skills in the sport of swimming among the school going children. In other words, the experiment was at aimed at assessing the development of swimming skills of school going children through Distance Education method. The experiment was designed, planned and performed over a span of six weeks in year 1999, in the small town Nashik of Maharashtra State (India). The experiment was performed on 90 school going children. These students were randomly allocated to three different groups G1, G2 and G3 corresponding to T1, T2 and T3 treatments. Our analysis confirms that we must now use communication techniques to impart basic instructions in the sports of swimming. This does not mean that the traditional method, which heavily depends upon expertise of individual coaches, can be eliminated. In fact a proper combination of treatment 1, i.e. traditional method and treatment 2, i.e. new audio-visual communication media can be blended together as we demonstrated in the formulation of treatment 3. Thus, the effectiveness of communication media will be further improved, if it is supported by the experience of traditional methods. In other words, our experiment underlines the importance of combined effect of tradition and new communication media in imparting the basic skills to budding sportsmen more effectively by Distance Education method.
