Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of swimming training on reducing life tension by means of survey questionnaire. The target group was the members from Dr. S.P. Mukherjee Swimming Stadium, New Delhi. Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) was used to score the members’ life strain before and after swimming training. Data analysis included both descriptive statistical methods and paired sample t-test. This study has reached two conclusions as follows: (1) Males aged 20-34 with an occupation are usually night swimmers. (2) Swimming helps relieve life strain. This study thus recommended people to do swimming training in order to effectively reduce stresses in their lives.
