The purpose of the study was to substantiate the experimental program of sectional classes with the complex use of recreational swimming means for female students of higher education institutions, which is aimed at increasing their physical condition. Materials and methods. Female students of 18-19 years old of higher education institutions took part in the research. During the study such methods were used: theoretical analysis of scientific and methodological literature, summarizing scientific data from modern approaches to the organization of the system of physical education of students of higher education institutions, general physical fitness testing. To assess the level of physical performance, the PWC170 submaximal test and the Rufier-Dixon test were used. Results and discussion. A program of sectional lessons with the integrated use of health-improving swimming means for female students of 18-19 years old of higher education institutions is proposed, which provides for a rational distribution of physical education means and rationing of the volume and intensity of physical activity. It was proved that after the experiment, the examined girls showed a significant (p <0.05) increase in the level of physical performance by 9%, dynamometry of the right hand by 6.5%, strength of the abdominal muscles by 5% and results in agility and flexibility tests, respectively 0.65% and 7%. At the same time, changes in other indicators were not statistically significant. The data indicate the positive influence of health-improving swimming sectional classes on the physical condition of 18-19-year-old female students. Conclusion. The introduction of the developed program of sectional classes with the integrated use of recreational swimming into the system of physical education of 18-19-year-old girl students contributed to a significant improvement of their physical condition. So, at the time of the end of the annual sectional classes according to the author's program, girls in the experimental group were found to have significantly (p <0.05; p <0.01; p <0.001) higher values of their physical performance, physical fitness, functional state of the cardiorespiratory system, physical health. The results obtained in the course of the formative experiment testify to the high efficiency of the developed program of sectional lessons for female students of 18-19 years old with the integrated use of recreational swimming, which gives grounds to recommend it for practical implementation in the system of physical education of students of higher educational institutions
