The lack of qualitative justification of organizational and methodical support of swimming training process from the standpoint of objective criteria ensuring of health and functional preparedness of student youth determines the relevance of the proposed area of research. The purpose of the study was to establish changes in indicators of functional preparedness of higher educational institutions students based on the implementation of training programs at different individual and motivational levels of the swimming training system. Materials and methods. The study involved girls aged 18-20 years old of Kherson State University. There were four experimental groups representing different individual and motivational levels of swimming (experimental group 1, n=23 girls; experimental group 2, n=26; experimental group 3, n=23; experimental group 4, n=21 respectively) and the control group (n=29) with general lessons. All programs (experimental and control) were designed for 18 lessons during the first semester, the duration of a single lesson was 60 minutes. Changes in body length and weight, heart rate at rest, blood pressure and pulse pressure, Robinson’s, Cardu’s, Kettle’s, Skibinsky’s, Hildenbrant’s, Stange’s and Genche’s indices, Life index and Rosenthal’s test were studied. Results and discussion. Determining the initial level of functional indicators of female students of all experimental groups and control groups gave grounds to the confirmation that the indicator of their values is within the age norm for people who do not do sport. Slightly higher indicators of heart rates at rest for experimental group representatives were obtained. This is due to higher requirements for the cardiovascular and oxygen and transport system of girls in performance of physical activity and specifics of swimming means. Preliminary assumptions, that the absence of maximum physical loads is not able to significantly affect blood pressure, heart rate at rest, a number of indices for both experimental and control training programs, have been confirmed. Conclusion. The qualitative content of physical culture and sports lessons before entering the higher educational institutions forms a certain basis of functional preparedness. It is expressed in indicators at rest and is characterized by optimization of the activity of vital organs and systems of students and can be slightly corrected due to the use of training programs at various individual and motivation levels of the swimming training system for students of higher educational institutions
