Purpose: This study aimed to determine the level of development of university students' swimming skills with the direct instruction model (DIM) and whether the model would enhance the learning process. Method: Data were collected through student diaries, field notes, and a semi-structured interview technique developed by the researcher. The data were coded as fear of water, swimming skills, part-to-whole, feedback, student motiva-tion, and skill repetitions. Data were analyzed with MAXQDA 2020 analysis program. Results: According to the findings of the study, it was seen that students overcame their fear of water, their swimming skills improved, and permanent learning was achieved by repeating the previous learning. Discussion/Conclusion: Based on the findings obtained in the study, it can be recommended to use the DIM by taking into account the factors affecting success (learning) in groups who know how to swim and those who do not know how to swim.
