The article presents the results concerning the effectiveness of hydroaerobics exercises use at the initial stage of teaching swimming. They were reflected in the average selfestimations of psycho-emotional state increase and students’ swimming readiness improvement. Research methods. Information sources analysis and summarizing, questionnaire survey and interview, pedagogical experiment, swimming readiness testing, methods of statistical data handling. Results. We revealed the differences in the experimental group in the level of swimming readiness and psycho-emotional state at the end of the experimental work. Students, who trained according to the experimental innovative methodology with hydroaerobics exercises inclusion at the stage of initial teaching swimming, validly excelled young people from the control group in swimming readiness indices, the average self-estimation of psycho-emotional state at the end of the experiment.
