During the study, the following methods have been used: the analysis and synthesis of special and methodical literature, pedagogical observations, pedagogical experiment, control tests for swimming skills assessment, calculation methods, mathematical statistics. Results. The application of the complex proposed (sauna, cold exposure training, phytotherapy) in the experimental group decreased significantly children’s disease frequency by the end of the course.
