Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.

The purpose of this study is to understand the swimming abilities among the secondary school students in Hong
Kong. A total of 1,752 subjects replied to the survey and it revealed that 46.7% of the secondary students were unable to swim. There are significant differences between observed and expected frequencies for the secondary students who were able and unable to swim in gender and family income but no significant difference were found among school levels. Parental encouragement was the major reason for the secondary students participating in swimming activity. This finding provided the database for the school administrators and health care professionals to better understand the current situation about the swimming abilities among the secondary school students in Hong Kong.

本調查旨在探討本港中學生的游泳能力,採用問卷形式收集了1752名中學生,結果顯示有46.7%不懂游泳,盼望學校及教育部門加以關注。
