|b Feedback is important for junior swimmers who learn new motor skills as their perception of these skills is generally incomplete. So, they are in dire need of feedback information to improve their perception and performance of that skill, and to help to detect their errors and to determine how to correct them. \ This study aims to identify the effective use of feedback through junior swimmers’ combination of both viewing and model to learn the skills of swimming (free, back, breast, butterfly). \ The researcher used the experimental method because of its suitability to the nature of the study by devising two groups (control group and experimental group), and using pre- and post test measurements The research sample was selected - according to the representative, deliberate method - from among the research community represented by junior swimmers under 10 years at the Al- Ahly Club at Gizeera, Cairo, Egypt; the research sample was not from among those junior swimmers awarded the Third Star. \ The research sample comprised 52 junior swimmers, 8 of them were excluded due to non-attendance at the tutorials and 12 were chosen for the pilot experiment. The remainder number was randomly divided into two equal groups, each one comprises 16 juveniles. Homogeneity was done to the research sample, where the first group (control group) used verbal explanation and the performance of the model, while the second group (experimental group) used the technical performance of swimming through a computer connected to screen displaying the performance of the model. The educational program was implemented for the two groups at the same time. \ The most important results are that feedback has a positive impact in increasing the junior swimmers’ perception of motion to enhance their correct skill performance, and that learning by using video-taped material and the repeat of model performance are more effective than learning through the model performance only. \ The researcher recommends the importance of using educational aids, especially the novel ones such as video-taped material and multimedia in learning swimming..
