Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of peer-based learning on the knowledge and skills of freestyle swimming in university students. This research uses an experimental method with a matching-only posttest-only control group design. The research sample consisted of 60 first-semester students from the 2025/2026 academic year, selected through quota–purposive sampling technique and divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received swimming instruction through a combination of lecturer-led learning and peer-based learning, while the control group used a part and whole practice approach. The research instruments included a freestyle swimming knowledge test and a 25-meter freestyle swimming skill test. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and inferentially using the MANOVA test with a Pillai's Trace interpretation. The results showed a significant effect of peer tutoring on improving knowledge and skills in freestyle swimming (V = 0.54, F = 32.873, p < 0.001). Univariate analysis showed an increase in knowledge with a moderate effect (η² = 0.104) and an increase in swimming skills with a large effect (η² = 0.459). Thus, it can be concluded that the peer tutoring learning model is effective in improving university students' knowledge and skills in freestyle swimming.
