This study intends to investigate the Performance of Sabah project on Training of swimming skills to students.It also tries among study the difficulties of its better application from the point of trainers and experts view. Thestudy included two sections: one is quasi- experimental and the other is descriptive. In quasi- experimentalsection, a sample of 30 students within age range of 8.34±5.98 and BMI of 23.98±2.05 are randomly selectedand tested in a pre-test and post-test order. In the descriptive section the population included all the trainers andexperts of the project in education and schooling offices in Orumieh (N=43). The instrument used in thissection was a researcher made questionnaire including 4 sections of facilities, environment, management andprogramming, those related to the trainers and problems related to the students. Face validity and contentvalidity of the questionnaire were confirmed by the experienced professors in the field of physical Training. ItsConstruct validity was also confirmed through use of factor analysis (p=0.00, df=43, AGFI= 0.91). Thereliability of the test was 0.85. The tests used for data analysis as follows: Friedman, U Mann Whitney andWilcoxon. Results showed that in all of the swimming skills there is a meaningful difference between pre-testand post-test. regarding the difficulties, the analysis showed that problems are mostly related to facilities,trainers, management and programming and students, respectively. The findings of the study show that theproject has been successful but it surely is far away from the defined goals. By providing appropriate facilitiesand with a good programming and management, we can pave the way for a better Training and learning.
