Swimming is a life skill and everyone should have the opportunity to learn to swim. In the scientific and methodological literature on swimming, in training programs and teaching aids for teaching swimming, it is said that it is not advisable to combine children of different ages in one group, but the real side of the problem lies precisely in the fact that mixed groups are formed quite often, and children of elementary, middle and high school age are engaged in one group. The article reveals the relevance of teaching swimming to children aged 7-15 years-old with different levels of swimming training in a mixed group. Since the nature of the perception of educational material, the degree of development of physical and mental abilities, previously acquired motor experience have significant individual differences, in a group of different ages it is necessary to foresee and solve far from equivalent particular tasks in the process of learning the same motor action. Based on this were identified methodological aspects of organizing and conducting swimming lessons in a sports and recreation group of different ages based on the UPhES pool and were developed methodological recommendations for coaches and swimming instructors.
