The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of teaching points on turn motion by investigating the relationship between subjective sense and objective temporal information during breaststroke turn motions for novice swimmers. Eight non-skilled College swimmers participated in this study. They were taught the turn motion three times for 15 min. The times for T-turn (Pre, 1.71 s; Post, 1.84 s) and T-hand (Pre, 0.65 s; Post, 0.86 s) were significantly longer (P < 0.01) than those before teaching. Many positive comments were offered, such as "I learned to be able to turn my body with no trouble" and " I was able to kick the wall firmly", implying that these teaching points eased turning for beginning swimmers. Results suggest that the teaching program led swimmers to acquire good tips on turn motion and led them to turn confidently.
