This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the grab the ball game approach as an alternative method of teaching swimming skills to beginners in physical education. Teaching swimming skills to beginners in physical education is often challenged by the need to create an engaging and effective learning environment for students. This research method uses an experimental approach one group pretest postest with the need for 8 sessions. Swimming skills were assessed before and after the intervention. The research sample was 15 students at Bina Darma University with the category of not able to swim or beginners. Data were collected by measuring test of swimming 50 meters freestyle. Data analysis using paired test between pre-test and post-test with SPSS version 21. Empirical findings show that students who were taught the grab-the-ball approach experienced significant improvements in swimming skills. The resulting t-statistics (23.858 for the pre-test and 19.192 for the post-test) indicate that these differences are very statistically significant, with p-values (Sig.) that are extremely low (p<0.0001). This means that the observed difference between the sample group average and the expected test score is very unlikely to have occurred by chance. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that the grab-the-ball approach can be an effective alternative in teaching swimming skills to beginners in physical education. The implications of these findings highlight the importance of using engaging and playful methods to improve student learning outcomes in swimming skills. Suggestions for future research include extending the research by including a larger sample, which may provide greater statistical power to support research findings in the area of swimming 50 meters freestyle.
