本研究的目的有四，一、瞭解大一學生的游泳能力與其有關之影響因素。二、比較男女學生之游泳能力。三、游泳能力與安排游泳課是否有關。四、游泳能力與是否曾經請教練指導有所相關，以本校95學年度入學新生1391人（男891人、女500人）為受試者，填答問卷完成調查，結論如下：一、本校大一新生在中小學階段體育課有安排游泳者531人(38.17%)，無安排游泳課者860人(61.83%)。二、本校大一新生曾經與教練學習過游泳者455人(32.71%)，不曾與教練學習過游泳者936人(67.29%)。三、本校大一新生目前之游泳能力（一）完全不會游泳者208人(14.95%)（二）會一點游泳者726人(52.19%)（三）會游泳者457人(32.86%)。四、本校大一新生完全不會游泳者的主要原因排名（一）個人没有興趣（二）個人對懷有恐懼感（三）没有時間（四）無泳池可供學習。五、本校大一新生只會游一點泳（學不會）的主要原因排名（一）没有時間持續學習（二）學習時間不够（三）個人没興趣（四）個人運動技術不好。六、本校大一新生「會游泳」者達成「會游泳」目標的時期（一）小學（含以前）190人(41.58%)（二）國中142人(31.07%)（三）高中職125人(27.35%) 七、本校大一新生「會游泳」者，是如何學會（或重要影響人物）的排名。（一）訓練班教練（二）體育教師（三）自我摸索（四）家人（五）朋友（六）同學（七）其他八「性別」「中小學階段是否安排游泳課」「是否另外找教練學習游泳」，三者與游泳能力之間，呈顯著性差異(p<0.05)。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the swimming ability and the related factors of the 2006 freshmen of national Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences, By questionnaire survey, The available data of 1391 students (male 891, female 500) were collected. The findings were: 1. Freshmen who has swimming course at their earlier school stage were 531(38.17%), no swimming course were 860(61.83%) 2. Freshmen who ever learned swimming skill with professional coaches were 455(32.71%), never were 936(67.29%) 3. The swimming ability of freshmen is classified as follows: (1) Non-swimmers 208(14.95%) (2) Under-level swimmers 726(52.19%) (3) Pass test swimmers 457(32.86%) 4. The major reasons for students to be non-swimmers were: (1) No interest (2)fear of suffocation (3)no time (4)no swimming pool for learning 5. The related factors of under-level students by list orders were: (1) No time to learn continually (2) The time for learning is not enough (3) No interested (4) Sports skill is not good 6. When did the students who reach the goal of "pass-test swimmer"? (1) Elementary school (and before) 190(41.58%) (2) Junior high school 142(31.07%) (3) Senior high school 125(27.35%) 7. For the students who can swim and past the test, the reason why they can did it (or the most influential person) by list orders were: (1) Coach (2) PE teacher (3) self-practice (4) family members (5) friend (6) classmate (7) others 8. Statistic results showed that the swimming ability of students are significantly related to the following factors "gender", "with or without swimming course at earlier school stage", "ever or never learned swimming skill with pro-coach" among the above 3 factors and swimming ability has significant differences (p<0.05).
