Abstract：
The purpose of this study was to examine experiences and impacts from participating in an adult swim instruction program. We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with adults aged 18 + who had participated in an adult learn to swim program. Participants were interviewed through a virtual platform using a semi-structured protocol. Data were coded individually by each member of the research team for emerging thematic outcomes with final consensus among all those involved in the analysis. Participants expressed adult learn to swim programs had an effect in three areas: (a) life affordance, (b) emotional affect, and (c) interpersonal relationships. Public health experts and aquatics leaders should consider targeting programs aimed at teaching adults to learn how to swim, especially to marginalized individuals and those who did not grow up in the United States. The authors highlight how these programs can create life affordances well beyond lap swimming and even water safety.
摘要：
这项研究的目的是研究参加成人游泳指导计划的经验和影响。我们对参加过成人学习游泳计划的18岁以上的成年人进行了20次半结构化访谈。参与者通过使用半结构化协议的虚拟平台进行了采访。研究小组的每个成员分别对新出现的主题成果进行数据编码，并在所有参与分析的人员之间达成最终共识。参与者表示，成人学习游泳计划在三个方面产生了影响：（a）生活负担，(b)情感影响，(c)人际关系。公共卫生专家和水上运动领袖应考虑针对旨在教成年人学习游泳的计划，特别是边缘化个人和那些没有在美国长大的人。作者强调了这些计划如何创造超越游泳甚至水安全的生活负担。
