- Abstract
The water competence in childhood is an emerging study approach that demands further scientific support. This work is framed in the field of motor development and has an impact on the study of learning. Through a qualitative, descriptive and intrasubject approach; the present study looks at four infant-adult dyads (n = 4) during a four-month baby-swimming program. Thus, an ad-hoc system of categories, built for observing the baby's water motor behaviour and the joint activity of the dyad, is used. The category system is designed without deductive skills to observe and, instead, is based on increasing levels of difficulty of aquatic motor behaviour in two dimensions: breathing and balance. Results indicate that it is possible to observe the evolution of the competence and describe it in its social nature without the observation of skills. The study suggests emerging approaches to analyse motor learning and development in other motor learning environments.
