motivation of the individuals participating in open water swimming
competitions. The sample of the study consists of 104 individuals who
participated in Datça open water swimming competitions in 2018. In the study,
in addition to the personal information form, “Leisure Motivation Scale” (LMS)

In data analysis, the normality of
the data was tested and in addition to the descriptive statistics, Independent
Sample T Test was used for two groups and One Way Variance Analysis was used
for more than two groups. The correlation between the two scales was calculated
by using Pearson Correlation Coefficient. While no correlation was found
between the participants’ genders and their years of participation in terms of
leisure motivation and leisure satisfaction levels, significant difference was
found between the leisure motivations of individuals who were interested in
swimming recreatively and professional individuals. In addition, a positive and
moderate correlation was found between LMS and LSS. As a conclusion, there can
be an increase in the satisfaction levels of individuals if their leisure
motivation can be increased. This is an important factor in increasing the
attendance of the participants and ensuring the continuity of the organization. </span> </i> </p> <p> <i> </i> </p> <i> </i> <p> </p>}, number={19}, publisher={İdeal Kent Yayınları}
